PRAYER MOMENT
Easter Thursday

HE OPENED
THEIR MINDS
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “He then
opened their minds to understand the scriptures, and he said to them, ‘So you
see how it was written that the Christ would suffer and on the third day rise
from the dead.” (Luke 24:35-48)
Reflection. The disciples would have known the
scriptures. They would have been taught them from childhood and in the
synagogue week by week. They thought they understood them. But now they are “dumbfounded.”
They realised they had had no idea what they meant. And we struggle too to make
sense of some of the things that happen in our life. And we too hear his words,
‘Why are you so agitated and why these doubts?’ In our reading from Acts 3
today we hear Peter saying, ‘I know you had no idea.’ He could have said the
same about himself.
Prayer. Lord, may we grow in understanding
as to how you are at work in our world today, despite events that dismay us. Amen
