Resurrection and the life,

in the breaking of the bread, you made yourself known to your disciples in Emmaus.  Their eyes were opened to the power of your Risen presence to deliver them from their despair.  Hope was renewed and strengthened at their table. Open our eyes that we might see you among us.  Renew our hope so that we might reach beyond ourselves as a community to extend your love and hospitality to others.

Through Christ, Amen.
