Guided reflection:

“In a little while, you will not see me anymore.” John is the Gospel writer that has the feeling and passion around Jesus’ relationship with his disciples. “What do you mean, a little while?” Jesus goes on to say that they will weep and cry… but hold on, weeping only lasts for a little while…. Joy is coming on Sunday morning! Be brave, for I have over come the world. Sometimes when I read the news or listen to the TV, I wonder, where are you God? Surely you must be weeping too!

Guided prayer:

‘Help me hold onto these promises that you are greater than this world. Help me to know that you are my strength. When I am in a time of sorrow and weeping, help me remember this is not all there is! You have the last word, and it is one of hope and love and grace! Amen!”
