AWE AND JOY

PRAYER MOMENT


Easter Monday 28 March 2016   


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
