Sacred Encounter
From today’s gospel reading at Mass.
Luke 14: 12-14
Then Jesus said to his host, ‘When you give a lunch or a dinner, do not ask your friends, brothers, relations or rich neighbours, for fear they repay your courtesy by inviting you in return. No; when you have a party, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind; that they cannot pay you back means that you are fortunate, because repayment will be made to you when the virtuous rise again.’
A reflection on this gospel passage.
Sacred Encounter
Lighting a votive candle, whispering a quiet prayer
Touching an ornate statue that remains serenely silent
Kneeling before the tabernacle shrouded in mystery
An appreciation of eternity, a sigh of sacred encounter.
A homeless figure laying broken in a shop doorway
Covered in a stained blanket, matted hair protruding
A spent paper cup slightly turned, spilt liquid congealing
Desperate poverty, seeking that touch of sacred encounter.
