Finan Readings - June 1 & 2

This year I'm doing the daily offices from the book Celtic Daily Prayers for my devotional times. I'm using the Finan series of readings. The following are from the first two days of June - and June is themed "Jesus of the Scars."
________________
June 1st:

Scripture: Psalm 22:16, Isaiah 52:15, Luke 24:30-40

Question: What are the only man-made things in heaven?
Answer: The wounds in the hands, feet and side of Jesus.

(I found that extremely profound to think upon yesterday)

June 2nd:

Scripture: Psalm 129:3-4, Isaiah 50:6-9, 1 Peter 2:22-24

Excerpt from Henri Nouwen:
"Jesus' hands and feet were not just anyone's hands and feet, but the signs of His real bodily presence. They were the hands and feet of Jesus marked with the wounds of His crucifixion. It is of great spiritual importance that Jesus made Himself known to His disciples by showing them His wounded body. The resurrection had not taken His wounds away but, rather, they had become part of His glory. They had become glorified wounds.

"Jesus is the Lord who came to save us by dying for us on the Cross. The wounds in Jesus' glorified body remind us of the way in which we are saved. But they also remind us that our own wounds are much more than roadblocks on our way to God. They show us our own unique way to follow the suffering Christ, and they are destined to become glorified in our resurrected life. Just as Jesus was identified by His wounds, so are we."
