AWE AND JOY
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “Filled
with awe and great joy the women came quickly away from the tomb and ran to tell
the disciples.” (Matthew 28:8-15)
Reflection. Matthew gives us a simple sentence packed
with three messages. There is the experience of awe and joy at meeting the risen
Lord. Then there is the turning away from death and its symbols and all the
negativity in our lives. And finally there is the mission, shared by every
Christian and person of good will, to be a person for others; to let their
light shine in the world and, by their lives, announce the resurrection, as
Francis of Assisi did.
Prayer. Lord, may our lives announce the
resurrection! May we be people of wonder and joy! And may the world come to
believe. Amen
