Christian Reflection and Prayer

Verse

But a Samaritan while travelling came near him; and when
he saw him, he was moved with pity.
Luke 10:33

Voice

Patience is not waiting passively until someone else does
something. Patience asks us to live the moment to the
fullest, to be completely present to the moment, to taste
the here and now, to be where we are. When we are
impatient, we try to get away from where we are. We
behave as if the real thing will happen tomorrow, later,
and somewhere else. Let’s be patient and trust that the
treasure we look for is hidden in the ground on which we
stand.
Henri J.M. Nouwen


Prayer

God, thank you for your presence. Give us this day our
daily bread. Amen.
