Readings

Luke 24: 13-15 Walk to Emmaus

“Now on the same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, and talking with each other about all these things that happened. While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and walked along with them...”

Luke 24: 32-33

“They said to each other, ‘Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?’ That same hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem, where they found the eleven disciples gathered with others and saying,

'The Lord has risen indeed! ”

Prayer

Along the roads of challenge and grief we walk, Lord Jesus, appear with us and walk with us.With the steps we take and the wonderings we make, Rabbi Jesus, show us your way, your truth and your life that our hearts would be warmed and enlivened.

As we face the roads before us, sometimes unknown of the destination or of the terrain ahead, bless Risen Saviour the journey of becoming more and more like you as we step onwards, remember your teachings, and learn from one another and those who have trod this path before us.

May our journeys be with companions along the way.May our conversations spoken and within our hearts, air all the worries and wonderings of life in all its fullness.May your whispering presence show us the way, the truth and the life in Jesus as those companions came to know on the road to Emmaus.

Amen
