For the past 15 years, the Irish Jesuits have been running a daily prayer website which invites us to make a “Sacred Space” in our day to think and pray. This “sacred space” during our busy day is a great opportunity to pause and see where we are relative to where we want to be. We may be happy or sad depending on how near or far we are from the goals we have set for ourselves.
As spiritually imperfect as we are, our good Lord has seen to it that whenever we need a boost, whenever we need a re-think to determine what is really important in our lives, he will always be with us with blessings of strength and wisdom to help us through. All it takes is for us to accept our frailties and in humility, pray to him for succor and support.
In the First Reading, the apostles were panic-stricken and confused immediately after the death and resurrection of Jesus. On the other hand, today’s Gospel reading tells of Nicodemus’ search for answers on how to be closer to God. In both instances, the Holy Spirit breathed life to those in need, providing courage to proclaim the love of the one true God, and providing clarity of heart and mind to experience oneness with our Creator.
Let us pray that we may be granted the precious gift of being born In The Spirit and be instruments of God’s love.
