ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS
January 28, 2021
Scripture: Matthew 14:23
And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone…
Thought for the Day: Ellen Burstyn, the great actress of TV, film and stage, is a deeply spiritual person. She wrote,
What a lovely surprise to finally discover how unlonely being alone can be.
Many people shy away from being alone because they feel so lonely, yet for a person of faith, solitude is not loneliness. In fact, it is often removing oneself from the blinding chaos of everyday life so that we can see just how un-alone we are. Even Jesus went to the mountain by himself to pray, yet the simple act of prayer made it clear that he was not alone.
Prayer: Provide me the courage to find some quiet time, all by myself, where I am reminded that I am not ever by myself. Your love, O God, has you nearby whether I acknowledge you or not. Amen.
