A humbled contrite heart.

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

The prophet Daniel in the first reading at Mass today speaks about the fear of being abandoned by God. Offering a humbled and contrite heart, Azariah prayed for the gentle mercy of God to be revealed in the lives of the people. A prayer in time of trouble is a prayer from the heart.

A prayer often thanks God, praises him too, but also implores of his whereabouts when things are going wrong, when the dark threatens to overwhelm the light. The experience of the Christian lends to the prayer of feeling abandoned. A prayer comes from deep within, crying out: Where is God, in the midst of suffering? Where is God when the innocent ones are harmed? Where is God in the heart of grief and loss, in the times when abandonment is the overwhelming reality in life?

Where are you Lord? This prayer can begin the conversion of heart, that turns back to the Lord and sees he never left. A prayer that sees that God remains close beside, his presence may for a time seemed far from our sight, only for us to discover that the limit of our sight is not the reality of God’s presence, or his nature, or his mystery. Azariah speaks from the point of view of coming down low to the dust of the earth and feeling abandoned, it is only at this point that he is able to see a way to once more experience the gentle mercy of God’s favour and presence. In humbled contrite hearts; here are the keys for unlocking the way to know God’s closeness once more.

In Lent, only when the we see the need to repent will we know the closeness of the merciful God to us. When we sit and reflect upon our lives, a spirit of repentance enables us to fathom its complexities and see all things in the light of the death and resurrection of God’s Son. Repentance restores the reassurance of God’s abiding presence.
