through the tears

Opening Prayer: Set me free, O Risen One, from all my misguided ways of being and seeing.  (Journey to the Cross by Jim Branch)

Scripture: John 20:1-18

Journal: How is pain or sorrow keeping you from being able to see the resurrected Crist?

Reflection:

     through the tears

woman, why are you crying
who is it you are looking for
~john 20:15
sometimes
the pain of the cross
so blinds our eyes
that we cannot see
the resurrection
standing right in front of us

we become 
so consumed with
our sorrow and sadness
that we forget
for a second
or a season
that this life
is not about us

o god
give us the grace
to look beyond the tears
and find you

Prayer

Closing Prayer: O God, give us the grace to look beyond the tears and find you.  Amen.
