Am I just imagining this?

How do we meet Jesus in these days of the resurrection? Often there can be a sense in which these days have a sense of unreality. After all the build up to Easter Sunday there can be a natural sense of asking what is next? The disciples had a similar view. They knew Jesus during his life and ministry and had witnessed the passion. What did they need to do now? Easter is a time in which we are called to allow Jesus to find us and reveal himself to us so that we may bear witness to his presence to the world. How can we do this?

I think there are four simple ways. The first is to become silent in our prayer. We need to spend as much time listening and waiting as we do talking. The conversation has to be two way. The second is to become people who reflect and meditate upon scripture. We need to allow the word to find a home in us. The third way is to become conscious of those graced moments in which God does become present to us in our daily lives. The moments where we can give thanks for the action of God in our lives. Lastly, we need to encourage each other to witness how we see God at work in each other’s lives and how they help us to build up a vibrant faith filled community.
