IMPLICATIONS
They are below the ice.
Everything we say has implications dripping from its words.
Everything we do is loaded with implications.
Life moves too fast – most of the time – for us to take the time – be become aware of the ocean of implications we are navigating.
We speak. We do. We remain silent. We make a phone call. We want others to respond to our words, our gifts, our actions, our signals.
Prayer is a great chance to listen to our heart – to stop – to hear our neediness, our poverty, our hungers, our thirsts – for recognition, for acceptance for inclusion, for love.
Prayer is a great opportunity to listen to God and his implications.
We were given the gift of life.
God gives life.
Implications.
Don’t kill them.
Implications: give life.
Implications: live life to the full.
A funeral passes by. We see a row of cars with headlights on – following a hearse. Implications: some day it will be my turn – just as it was my turn years ago – to be born – to come out of my mom – into the light of day.
A job – being given a job …. What are the implications, the designs, the hope, the dreams of the boss.
A family – what does that imply? Time with? Time for? Listening?
Prayers – My God, they are loaded with implications.
· To make sure all have daily bread,
· To be an instrument of his peace.
