Date to be Advised

PRIESTS PONDERINGS.

Have you ever headed off somewhere and suddenly

realised that your journey has taken a turn and you have ended

up in a place you never intended to be? I think that happens

to most of us from time to time! We intended to go to the shop

and buy 1 carton of milk and suddenly here I am having an

in-depth discussion over a cup of coffee.

Our faith can also be a bit this way, we set out to be good and

faithful servants and suddenly we realise that it has become

more about our own desire to be Godly than our Christian

values. The me and I can quickly take over and even when we

have started out with good intentions, somewhere that can get a

little confused. The tricky bit is in realizing this is happening

and then it is often not difficult to get back on track.

We often hear lines in scripture like – “Open your eyes”,

“Listen to him” and “Pay attention”. Perhaps we need to heed

this advice and occasionally stop and reflect on who and

where we are, on what we are trying to do and where God

might be leading us.

Blessings

Fr Peter

FOR YOUR DIARY

Today’s reading from Jeremiah shows us Jeremiah’s scribe Baruch being told by God to focus only on the things that are not passing away (that is, the things of God) and not to worry about status, because the world he knew was about to pass away. It was the

same for James – the world he knew was about to be turned upside down by the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Pray that we will be able to concentrate on the things that really matter,

rather than on distractions such as status.

Give thanks for the Church of the Province of Myanmar.
