The Noontimes


Job: Protestation of Innocence


Job: Protestation of Innocence

Albrecht Durer: Job and his Wife

Monday, July 10, 2017

We share these reflections from Holy Week of 2007 while I am away from electronics. Keeping all of you in prayer at noon each day.

Holy Monday 2007: Job’s last exhausted protestation of innocence. Jesus is accused of challenging Caesar but he is innocent of the charge. We, too, may have been unjustly accused or we may find ourselves innocently involved in terrifying circumstances. We are not alone in this intense suffering.

Jesus tells us that he yokes himself with us in both our joys and sufferings, and so we share thoughts and prayers with one another as we hand over our burden to Christ.

When we use the scripture link and commentary to explore the Book of Job, we find verses that speak to us.
