Scripture reading:
“For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a
spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline.” (2 Timothy 1:7)
A Reflection:
At times we may be fearful of what others think. To step out
of line with the silent consensus whether on abortion or other issues of vital human
concern requires courage and steadfastness.
Why me? Why now? Why can’t others
do it and better than me? We can find
100 ‘good’ reasons not to act or show leadership. We can only find one reason
to act, viz., one precious life somewhere will depend on my response at some
point in my life. I do not know how and where but I know that some life depends
on me and another life depends on you.
A Prayer:
Come Holy Spirit, release us from the bonds of timidity and
discouragement. Move us to speak and to act as you direct us on all occasions
and in all circumstances.
