Prayer for the Third Sunday in Easter - Year A

Blessed Christ, like those on the road to Emmaus, we often do not recognize you in the journey of our lives. Open our eyes to you embodied before us. Help us to taste you in the bread we eat and in the cup from which we drink. As we walk through this world, assure us that you meet us in unexpected places, listening to our stories and offering us bread for nourishment. Open to us your wisdom, as you did to our ancestors long ago, that we might be a people of peace and grace, an example of your Resurrection in a hurting and wounded world. We pray in your holy name, Blessed Jesus. Amen.
