The Third Sunday of Easter, April 30, 2017

                 _________________ Collect  ___ 

open 

the 

eyes 

of 

our 

faith, 

that 

we 

may

 see Christ in all his redeeming work 

                          I was surprised with the image.  

I usually go bigger, broader.  But not today. Today is totally local and focal. Maybe be-

cause to know Christ “in the breaking of bread” implies, requires a a community to which one belongs. But  at first I couldn’t find the image.

 As I searched, I  thought maybe it was maybe  this stylized  flower with a multitude of petals a-

round a button at the

Center. As I looked further,

I thought maybe 

it a map of the world painted on two upturned palms.

 And then I came across  the picture I  had first seen in my minds eye. ….

__________Open the eyes of my faith that I may see you in in all your redeeming work___________________________
