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 – to become aware of the ocean of implications we need to navigate. We speak.We do.
We remain silent. We make a phone call. Sometimes we have a sense of the
implications involved in our behaviors.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. Our parents gave us the gift of life. God gives life. Implications. Don’t neglect or miss them. 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 hopes, the dreams of the boss? A family – what does that imply?Time with? Time for?Listening? Prayers:– my God, prayers are loaded with implications. ·To forgive as I am forgiven; ·To make sure all have daily bread; ·To be an instrument of God’s peace.
