GOSPEL REFLECTION
Today’s Gospel tells how Jesus, early in the morning, found a lovely place to pray. The evening before He had
cured many people and it would have seemed the right thing to do to stay and help more people. Also, Jesus
would see that He was doing something useful, feeling secure in the knowledge that He was achieving results.
Yet, after His time of prayer, Jesus tells His disciples they must leave and move on. He would not know what to
expect, or how He would be accepted, or how successful He would be at that early stage in His ministry. He would
only have known through His prayer that He was doing His Father’s will and that His Father was with Him. It was
to lead to the cross but ultimately new life. Sometimes prayer can be risky. The Lord can use it to call us out of our
spiritual comfort zone and move forward even though we have no idea what to expect or where He might lead us.
Are we prepared to listen?
CTiW UNITED SERVICE
