Extract
Jesus went to Judea and taught in the Temple area. He knew that some Jews were trying to arrest him but, “No one laid a hand on him because his hour had not yet come”. (John 7:30)
Thought
Jesus knew his future but he had much suffering to endure before dying!
Reflection
Almighty Father, pour your blessings on us as we embark on our every new day. Help us to do your will and be ready to meet you at your chosen hour.
Prayer: Jesus My Heart (Adapted from D Hammarskjold)
Lord Jesus,
Give me a pure heart – that I may see you.
A humble heart – that I may hear you.
A heart of love – that I may serve you.
A heart of faith – that I may abide in you.
