Holy Wednesday reflection
To be healed
As we are entering the holiest of days, i.e, Thursday - Sunday, the Lord continues to implore to us to listen and learn from him and in learning, that his word may bear fruit in our lives.
Learn from his wisdom, his gentleness and compassion, and his capability to bring life to the wearied soul. Live out his truth and it shall set us free.
This intimacy with the Lord makes us totally secured. In whatever situation in life, given its imperfect and wounded stature, we pray that as the Lord enters the situation, we find ourselves and this world healed.
After reflecting on betrayal and the destruction it does on our humanity, I would like to focus now on healing. Healing can only be possible if we embrace these important truths: first, that it is not our power that brings order into our lives but God's power. Second, if we confess our wounded nature and bring it into the light, then nothing will be kept hidden; God will help us. Third, if we can have the courage to do God's will and not own own, to let the Spirit take over our every decision and action, we could be the unworthy but nevertheless, humble instruments of the Lord to lead us back to the Father.
