O Divine Presence,
The painting in the Chapel shows Jesus standing at the door and knocking, but there is no outside handle. The door can only be opened from the inside. So it is with our hearts, O Lord. May we open that door to the living, loving, empowering presence of the Christ this day. May that presence fill us with joy and peace. Then, Gracious God, may we be equipped to reach out to others so they might have the same life-transforming experience. You are our God. Your son, Jesus, is our Christ. We give You thanks and praise and we offer this prayer in His name. AMEN.
