Once again, Jesus, the Risen One, you take the initiative.
You meet your disciples.
You stand among them.
You show them your presence freely.
You encourage and reassure them.
We too want to be close to you, listening to you.
Help us not to be afraid of suffering,
of human contradictions, of false accusations.
But may we always, by your side, advance along our life’s paths,
with uprightness, perseverance, trust,
until the eternal face to face
where your light will shine in all and for all.
