Jesus -
Stand among us and declare peace to us.
Startle and terrify us, so we may look at your hands and feet, touch you, and see your flesh and bones. Show us the depths of Your incarnation, so we may be your witnesses.
In our joy at your resurrection, we disbelieve and wonder. In our joyful disbelieving and wondering, may we eat together and hear the scriptures proclaimed.
Open our minds, so we understand how you fulfilled the law, the prophets, and the psalms. Open our minds, so we understand your suffering and rising - a suffering and rising that call us to proclaim repentance and forgiveness to all nations.
May we see that you are the Messiah.
Amen.
