About Today Readings

Acts 3:11-26. O Lord, our God, how wonderful your name in all the earth! – Ps 8:2, 5-9. Luke 24:35-48.

Lord, help us to be alert and open to the presence of God

How do we experience the presence of God? How do we know we are hearing God’s voice? If the disciples didn’t recognise Jesus on the road to Emmaus, or thought he was a ghost, and prophets were often ignored, how can we be expected to know which voices we are to listen to? How are we to know when it is God who is speaking through someone?

Jesus reminds the disciples that belief requires faith and trust. It would seem that God is oftentimes revealed in the most unlikely places, through the most unlikely people.

Lord, help us to be alert and open, so as not to miss any opportunities to hear what God has to say to us.
