BY FEELING THEIR WAY TOWARDS HIM

PRAYER PAUSE

BY FEELING THEIR WAY TOWARDS HIM


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “He did this so that all nations might seek the deity and, by feeling their way towards him, succeed in finding him.” (Acts 17:15 ff)


Reflection. Paul addresses the Athenians on their own ground, praising their attempts to find God through reason. They go with him part of the way but stumble when the resurrection is mentioned. We may feel we have gone all the way, but have we? We too are feeling our way no matter how “comfortable” we may be in our faith. I am reflecting this week on the death of Dan Berrigan at 95, a man who stood out in his anti-war witness. But he would be the first to admit that he was “feeling his way” throughout his life.  


Prayer. Lord, help us to search for you in all the complexities of our life. Let us not be too sure we have found you. Amen
