When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week,
and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were
locked for fear, Jesus came and stood among them and said,
'Peace be with you.'
John 20.19
Jesus,
our dead and living friend,
We walk the ways of death and life
holding fear in one hand
and courage in the other.
Come find us when we are locked away.
Come enliven us.
Come bless us with your peace.
Because you are the first day of creation
And all days of creation.
Amen.
Padraig O'Tuama
