Reflections

Sunday, August 13, 2017

After he had fed the people, Jesus made the disciples get into a boat and precede him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. After doing so, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When it was evening, he was there alone.
(Matthew 14:22-23)

This, dear Jesus, was a brief respite between two miracles, a chance for you to be alone with the Father and Spirit. If you who are perfect need time to consult, how much more, then, do we? How can we hope to accomplish anything without your counsel? Please make me more faithful to silent prayer.
