The Rock

I’ve been reflecting on my role as a leader within my team, our organisation and home.

Found great encouragement from this reflection on St Peter, leader of the Church..

An excerpt from “The Word Among Us” – today’s meditation..

On this feast day, when we celebrate Peter’s role as leader of the Church, remember that Peter was able to take on this role because Jesus had helped him grow into the person he became. Remember this, and believe that he can do the same for you.

“Lord, I want to be your disciple! Keep on teaching and forming me so that I can be the saint this world needs.”

“..and keep me humble yet solid as Peter, always staying true to the mission, keeping firm on the agenda knowing that I am leaning on, and have strength from the greatest Rock  of all, our Lord Jesus Christ”

“Contemplation prolongs Communion and enables one to meet Christ, true God and true man, in a lasting way, to let oneself be seen by Him and to experience His Presence. When we contemplate Him in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar, Christ draws near to us and becomes more intimate to us than we are to ourselves”

– Pope John Paul II, Letter to the Bishop of Liege, Belgium 1996

I was at the Blessed Sacrament today, and came upon this quotation by Pope John Paul II again, and could not help but share..

We can contemplate and come closer to Jesus when we gaze upon Him in nature, in the love and companionship of dear friends and in the silence and yearning of our heart. He truly does know and love us more than we know and love ourselves and others.
