Prayer Reflection
Lord, nowadays, when people need to have hands laid on them they are often
treated impersonally:
– doctors and nurses see the sick as objects rather than people,
– parents are too busy to spend quality time with their children,
– teachers prefer classroom lectures rather that one-to-one sessions,
– pastors in your Church no longer sit and converse with members oftheir
communities,
– the confessional has been replaced by the office with secretaries and
answering machines,
– spiritual guides approach their work like busy professionals.
Our Western culture needs care-givers like Jesus
who take people aside in private, away from crowds,
put their fingers into the ears ofthose who have not heard words of
forgiveness and encouragement,
make personal contact with them as intimate as Jesus putting spittle on the
tongue ofthe man who had an impediment in his speech;
people who feel very deeply the pain ofthe person entrusted to them so that in
communion with them they will raise their eyesto heaven and sigh.Only then
will those whose ears are blocked be able to hear
that they are worthy of love and friendship,
the ligaments oftheir tongues will be loosened
so that they will feel able to speak clearly the truth ofwhat they feel.
