O, Risen Christ

This short prayer was written by Macrina Wiederkehr. I absolutely love this poem, especially with Good Friday and Easter approaching.

O RISEN CHRIST

“O, Risen Christ…

When I search for you in the darkness
Show me the light of your face.

When my darkness is too heavy
Send me the dawn.

When I am dejected because of your absence
Remind me to share my presence with someone.

When I am hungry for nourishment
Invite me to breakfast.

When I cast my nets on the wrong side of life
Come to my assistance.

When I do not recognize you
Call me by name.”

–Macrina Wiederkehr
