Lord, hear our prayer:

Dearest Jesus, we praise you for the way you came to the disciples when they most needed your presence and when they least expected it: when they had locked themselves in behind the closed door of the upper room you came and gave them your peace; when they walked on the road to Emmaus you came and gave them burning hearts in place of their despair; when they returned to their fishing, uncertain of what the future held, you came and shared their meal. In your name sweet Jesus we pray.

Amen.
