Enlighten Our Hearts
By Your Word

Lord God, heavenly Father,
you revealed your Son to the two disciples on the way to Emmaus. Enlighten our hearts also by your Word
and by your Holy Spirit, that we may become established in the faith, hold fast to your Word, delight to speak it,
and diligently meditate on it.
As we follow the example of Christ,
we must suffer much evil on earth,
but still give us a sure comfort in your Word,
until after this life,
we shall be raised to eternal life;
through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one true God, now and forever
Amen.
