No one knows what twists and turns lie ahead on the road of life; some are good, others devastating. But the Emmaus road is walked with a kindred spirit. There is someone to help us out of the ditch and point us in the right direction. We have a friend who celebrates the mountain top experiences, and empathizes with us in the valleys. If you find yourself in a season of darkness, remember, joy comes in the morning, at the rising of the sun through the mountain pass.

Yet as we continue traveling, and grow into the realization that He who is the object of our destination is also our Companion on the road, the landscape of this inner journey begins to change. We discover the joy found in expectancy and patient waiting.
–Brother Victor-Antoine d’Avila Latourrette

—————

God be with thee in every pass,
Jesus be with thee on every hill,
Spirit be with thee on every stream,
Headland and ridge and lawn;
Each sea and land, each moor and meadow,
Each lying down, each rising up,
In the trough of the waves, on the crest of the billows,
Each step of the journey thou goest.
–Carmina Gadelica

Hosanna!

A cry that echoed through the streets then is still the same cry we whisper today—when life feels heavy, when answers feel far, when we don’t know what else to say but “Lord, help.”

And the beautiful truth is this: our need has never been a surprise to God. It has always been part of His heart to save, to reach, and to rescue.

Jesus is still the answer to every “Hosanna” we carry. 🤍🙏🏻

United Methodists and Presbyterians historically celebrated the new year with a Watch Night service. Though we won't have a service tonight, consider the Covenant Prayer below. It feels like a big commitment. What do you think?

At the beginning of a new year, many United Methodists renew their covenant with God with a Covenant Service and a recitation of the Wesley Covenant Prayer--a prayer which John Wesley adapted from the Puritan tradition.

The prayer invites us to rededicate our lives to serving as Jesus' representatives in the world. It invites us into participating in self-emptying love.

May the words inspire you and your spiritual journey in the new year. Blessings and Happy New Year.
