h) Emmaus: Stay with us, Lord, on the road we are following.

Warm our hearts to receive your words; open our eyes to discover that life is stronger than death. When the desert begins to invade our lives and everything seems to be withering, let the springs well forth and the skies pour down manna and the poverty of our hearts and the scantiness of our gifts spring forth abundance by your graces as you transform all things. As your son takes his place at this table and at the centre of our homes and our hearts, may he multiply for all the bread that gladdens their hearts. We bless you, Lord, the lover of life. The bread broken between our hands is already the flesh for a new world in which all will be brothers and sisters. May this Eucharist look forward to the table that you will set for us in your Kingdom, for ever and ever. Amen
