Reflections for Easter Week 2025 by Revd. Alison Iliffe, Vicar in the Harborough Anglican Team and member of the Diocesan Women’s Ministry Group
24th April
“Jesus showed them his hands and his feet. While in their joy they were disbelieving and still wondering, he said to them, ‘Have you anything here to eat?’ They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate in their presence.”
It is likely that both women and men were gathered together as they tried to make sense of what was happening. As Jesus came and stood among them, they needed to touch him and see him eat to turn their doubt into joy.
Risen Lord, in those times when we are troubled and doubts rise in our minds, we pray for others to come alongside us to share our fears and help us make sense of what is happening.
We pray for all who are lonely or alone today, that they may take comfort in your presence. Amen.
