"We are all walking the Road to Emmaus"
3 Easter.A.26
Luke 24:13-35
The Rev. Melanie McCarley
The Danish philosopher and theologian Soren Kierkegaard wrote a brief but poignant prayer for clarity. “Lord! Give us weak eyes for things that do not matter. And eyes full of clarity in all your truth.” Written in the nineteenth century, its words are perennially relevant. “Lord! Give us weak eyes for things that do not matter. And eyes full of clarity in all your truth.” This prayer seems almost tailor made for the Gospel lesson for today as well as the contemporary world in which we live.
