REFLECTION - People of Hope

God of hope, You lead us on life’s journey As we gather here in Your name, Open our ears to hear Your voice. Open our hands to Your work. And open our hearts to Your Spirit. Amen

Luke 24:35-43

'Then they told what had happened on the road to Emmaus, and how he had been made known to them in the breaking of the bread. While they were talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, ‘Peace be with you.’ They were startled and terrified, and thought that they were seeing a ghost. He said to them, ‘Why are you frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? Look at my hands and my feet; see that it is I myself. Touch me and see; for a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.’ And when he had said this, he 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.' 

The Gospel of the Lord

WE RESPOND

What beliefs sustain your hope? 

What experiences have you had which have affirmed your beliefs?

WE PRAY

As we go about our day O God, 

As we strive to walk with Jesus as people of hope. 

Remind us that we are the face of Christ, 

Who is with us always. 

May your grace, mercy and peace, 

Bless us, keep us and transform us all, 

This day, now and forever. 

Amen
