They worshipped, but they doubted

"When they all saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted.Then Jesus approached and said to them, ' ...Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations,' " (Matt 28:17)

Reflection: Sometimes when we pray or practice ritual, we doubt. We wonder: is anyone there? Does this really mean anything? What next? Jesus answers all our doubts by providing a "second step" to prayer. That is: GO.

The Lord is indeed present to us, and is with us always, but we often realize that only after we get up from our prayer space and go out to connect with other people and circumstances in the world.

To what action does God send you today? After you read this reflection, where to next?
