PRAYER PAUSE
Easter Saturday, 22 April 2017
WHAT ARE WE
GOING TO DO?
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “What are we going to do with these
men?” the rulers and elders asked, “It is obvious a miracle has been worked …
But to stop the whole thing…” (Acts 4:13-21).
Reflection. The accounts we have of the early
church agree on the lack of belief of the disciples and of the rulers and
elders. The former gradually realise with great joy that it really is true – he
has risen – but the latter, with a few exceptions like Nicodemus and Gamaliel,
persist in the attitude we have already seen in the gospels. These two, the
faltering belief of the disciples and the lack of belief of the establishment,
in one way or another, endure to our time. There are many on the journey of
faith and there are many who give no thought to it. Those of us who write or
read words such I am writing here, are seekers. Let us encourage and pray for
one another that we deepen our search each day.
Prayer. Lord, help us to seek you, to
know you and love you; and may we become leaven in your creation. Amen.
