Scripture, Reflection and Prayer for Tuesday, June 16, 2009

When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all things to Myself.
Reflection: In could be said that the Cross, its awful scene, its shameful story, would create an emptiness around itself, would repel the contemplation of humans. Instead, however, the Cross attracts. Jesus Himself predicted it: "When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all things to Myself."
Prayer: Lead me to Your Cross, Lord Jesus. May I die for love of You Who have died for love of me.
