“Touch me and see
for yourselves.” Luke 24:39
Praise
to you, my risen Redeemer, who keeps on challenging the doubt in me, who
perceives the Thomas in me and allows me those graceful times when I,
too, can put my fingers into the signs and wounds of my everyday life
and there come in contact with you.
Praise
to you, my risen Lord, who keeps on meeting me in the garden of my life,
who keeps on calling my name, allowing me to feel loved, blessed and
cherished.
Praise
to you, risen Jesus, who walks with me on my Emmaus journeys, coaxing
the ache out of me, comforting and strengthening me with the intimate
presence of yourself.
Praise
to you, my risen Savior, who surprises me on the sandy beaches of my so
often planned and programmed life, inviting me to come and taste what
you have prepared. Time after time, you nourish me with all that I need
to carry your risen presence with me, wherever I go and to whomever I
meet.
