John 20

Read John 20 slowly, once or twice. Then sit with this:

Mary did not recognize Jesus through her tears until he spoke her name. Be quiet for a moment and imagine him saying yours, in a voice that knows you completely.

Three questions for the group

1. Read John 20 aloud, slowly. Which word or phrase stays with you?
2. What doors have you locked lately, and what are you afraid of behind them?
3. What honest conditions have you, like Thomas, set for God?

Questions 2 and 3 are personal: share only what you want to share.

Close with a minute of silence, then pray in your own words.
