GOD is a GOD of surprises!

Monday within Easter Octave : 13th April 2020

Acts 2:14,22-33; Ps. 16(15):1-2a,5,7-8,9-10,11; Mt. 28:8-15
(Psalter proper)

The women disciples, the first witnesses, of the Resurrection of the LORD cannot remain silent        witnesses. They were bursting with JOY and wonder!

They rush from the tomb, but before they can share their “news” with the others the LORD himself, who is the focus of their message, meets them on their way!

What a JOY and a privilege! All they could do at the moment was to cling to Him! What else can we do at prayer when the LORD visits us!

GOD leads us when we are ready to be led! The women had a companion on the way to Galilee, to bring the news to the others! GOD is a GOD of surprises! Just when we are at a loss about what to do next, He shows the way forward! BE NOT Afraid! Easter is the answer to all our questions, doubts and fears!

Galilee is the place where we first met the LORD, so it is where we are in familiar surroundings; where we can recall and reflect on our relationships. We pray that we can get on with our journey, where we left off!

LORD lead us back to you as we struggle with our doubts!
