The zeal for your house will consume me
In this 55th monthly prayer marathon we would still to pray for the many acts of terror that sow death and fear among us.
There are so many questions, so many solutions that are proposed to us at the judicial and social level but few real changes.
As long as we do not change our hearts and openly manifest our choices there will be few turns. If we continue to be closed in our superficial and poorly documented prejudices, we will not be able to understand and address the various problems in our countries but only to remain passive and discouraged spectators.
In Spain as in Egypt, England, the Philippines, Syria, Iraq, France and in so many other places where terror has led to death, life goes on but with many reservations and pain.
If there is no God asking all this then there is not even a religion to which the terrorists belong to , so us children of God have the duty to actively intervene for a turning.
The most effective weapon we have is the prayer addressed to our True God Creator of the Universe, praying with heart and faith, in the same way of the prayer that the inhabitants of Kedwan in Egypt continued to raise to the Lord even after the attack In the church of the Virgin Mary and St. Paul, asking for the continuation of the Liturgical celebrations that are the center of their own life.
And what do we do? Hidden behind a television to accuse terrorists who want to frighten us? Where are our spiritual weapons, where is our being Christians ready to announce that Jesus is the Lord and where two or more people are reunited in prayer He is with them, everywhere and forever?
Let’s bring out our homes, churches and prayer groups our zeal for the Lord, our need to love our neighbor to love and be loved by God.
Lord, the zeal for your house will consume me … cleanse and take away from me everything that has dirtied my soul and make me your witness, that I try to pray with all my being …
