The risen Christ lives among us, calling us to be a blessing,

*Opening Prayer (in unison)
Ever-present God, we come to you longing to feel your presence. As you reminded your disciples long ago, help us to remember that we are not alone on our journey of discipleship.
Guide us to see the risen Christ in our everyday lives,
and especially in the eyes of each other, that we may
bring healing and new life into the broken and dead
places of our world. Amen.
