Saturday of the Second Week of Easter April 9, 2005 Scripture: Acts 6:1-7; John 6:16-21 Reflection: Each day presents a different challenge for accepting God’s will. We need the assistance of one another in carrying on the work and word entrusted to us by the Lord, so that petty incidents will not interfere. Concentrate on prayer as well as the ministry of the word. Today presents an opportunity to challenge yourself to meet God in each person you encounter. Perform good works today, lest you find the evening of life drawing ever closer and you become frightened by the enveloping darkness. Listen to Jesus as he reassures you that he is near. Suggested Action: Meet God in the deep recesses of your being; adore, love and listen to the Divine Presence and hear God reassure you again: “It is I, do not be afraid.” Sr. Andre Davoren, IHM Scranton, Pennsylvania
