COMING TO MEET THEM


PRAYER PAUSE


Easter Monday, 2 April 2018


COMING TO MEET THEM


Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: And there, coming to meet them, was Jesus. “Greetings!” he said. (Matthew  28:8-15)



Reflection. After all the  sadness, confusion and sense of loss, suddenly Jesus breaks through and comes to meet the women.  All their pain, desolation and bewilderment vanishes in his presence and they are overcome with fear and joy. This experience of “breakthrough” could not have happened if the women had not experienced the limits of their own search and suffering. They stretched out their hearts over two days  and only found emptiness.  We can place ourselves there for emptiness, sadness and confusion is often our experience today.  When we reach our limits of yearning Jesus is always there, coming to meet us.  


Prayer. Lord, you come to meet us in our emptiness. May we rejoice in these days of Easter, knowing your approach. Amen
