Easter season invites us to consider and celebrate where we experience Jesus in our world.  On Sunday’s, we experience Jesus as we celebrate the Eucharist, as we hear the Living Word, as we unpack the Living Word in the homily, and as we gather as a community of believers.  This poem by David Adam, which I found on recent blog I came across, captures the search for the Lord in all things.  Easter celebrates that Jesus remains with us.  Where do you find the Lord speaking to you in your daily life?

In the silence of the stars,
In the quiet of the hills,
In the heaving of the sea,
Speak, Lord.

In the stillness of this room,
In the calming of my mind,
In the longing of my heart,
Speak, Lord.

In the voice of a friend,
In the chatter of a child,
In the words of a stranger,
Speak, Lord.

In the opening of a book,
In the looking of a film,
In the listening to music,
Speak, Lord.

For your servant listens.

David Adam
