Come to Stillness: Take a few minutes to allow your mind and heart to
be still before God.
Opening Prayer: Power of Love, shining through the risen
Jesus, radiantly shine in the dark places of my pain. Let their power to infect me be broken and
drawn into your heart. (Feed My Shepherds by Flora Slosson Wuellner)
Scripture Reading for the Day: Luke 24:13-34
Reading for Reflection:
It is not enough to say
that God is on the cross, sharing our pain—unique and redemptive though that
sharing is. God is also the God of
resurrection. In fact, the Resurrection
not only followed the crucifixion but was inherent in it all along. This inherency is what Jesus explains to the
two disciples on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-27). The wounds of Christ are not swallowed up and
forgotten; they become radiant centers of deep love and healing. Within the Christian experience, the cross
and the Resurrection cannot be divided. (Feed My Shepherds by
Flora Slosson Wuellner)
Reflection and Listening: silent and written
Prayer: for the church, for others, for myself
Prayer: for the church, for others, for myself
Closing Prayer: In the Paschal Mystery, Almighty God, You established the new covenant of reconciliation. Grant, we pray, that all who have been reborn into the fellowship of Christ’s Body may show forth in our lives what we profess by our faith. Amen. (Daily Prayer by Robert Benson)
