(Wrote this one on the fly Friday, but liked it and thought I’d share it)

Lord Jesus: You traveled with your disciples on the road to Emmaus, shared stories, with them, and encouraged them to grow in faith and in Your story.  At journey’s end, you blessed the food and they found their hearts burning with enthusiasm to share your message.

At this meal, with these disciples gathered who have shared faith and story, we invite you to bless our food and keep our hearts burning with love for You, Your story of salvation and redemption, Your church, and Your young people.

We ask all this through the intercession of our Blessed Mother.  AMEN.
