Dear friends, here I am with
penultimate meditation
SEVENTH DAY
"Witnessing hope and confidence"
"Why have so many doubts in you?" ( Lk 24, 38)
Job 19, 23-27 I'll see it next to me Psalm 63 (62), 1-12 you are thirsty Acts 3, 1-10 What I do I'll gladly Luke 24, 36-40 Shocked and frightened
Comment:
In their way of life and faith, all Christians experience moments of doubt. When Christians fail to recognize the presence of the risen Christ, being together sometimes serious doubts, instead of relieving.
The challenge that Christians face is to continue to believe that, even when they see or do not perceive God, He remains with them. The virtues of faith, hope and confidence allow them to testify that faith goes beyond their own capabilities.
The character of Job gives us an example of a man who faced difficult trials and tribulations, and even debated with God in faith and hope, however, he believed that God would stay close to him. The same conviction and the same confidence characterize the action of Peter and John healing the cripple told in the Acts. Their faith in Jesus' name allows them to witness with power to all present. The prayer of the psalm of today reflects our deep desire of the merciful love of God
Our meeting during this week of prayer allows our community to grow in the sharing of faith, hope and love. We bear witness to the merciful love of God toward the one Church that we are called to be. The higher our testimony together, will be our most vital message.
Prayer
O God of hope,Questions for personal reflection
show us your plan of unity in the Church,
and let us overcome our doubts.
Increase our faith in your presence
that all those who profess faith in you
could worship together in spirit and in truth.
We pray especially for those who are in doubt now,
for those living in the shadow of danger and fear,
stay with them, O God, and give them your consoling presence. Amen.
