”Where two or three are gathered in my name,

I am there among them.”

.

– Matthew 18:20

REFLECTION…

.

Jesus promises us

that when we meet together in His name for the purpose of prayer,

He is present among us.

.

The Lord wants each one of us to enter into a personal relationship with Him

as we call upon Him in those quiet intimate moments of meditation and prayer,

but He also delights when we call upon Him and pray with others,

and He very clearly encourages us to do so.

.

When we stop to pray in His name with others, be they family, friends or strangers,

then “Love” will be there among us

…and God is Love..

.

.

QUOTE…

.

“Make space for prayer in your lives!

To pray alone is good,

although it is even more beautiful and fruitful

to pray together,

because the Lord assured us

He would be present

wherever two or three

are gathered in His name.”

.

– Pope Benedict XVI

.

PRAYER…

.

My Lord Jesus,

thank You for Your promise

and for the hope You place in our hearts.

Help me not miss those opportunities You give me

to pray with my family, with my friends, and with others.

.

O Lord, You are worthy of all glory and honour and of power and all praise. Amen.
