𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫’𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐧 – 𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥 𝟏𝟒, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒

In this weekend’s Gospel, we hear the story of two disciples of Jesus who were taking a journey to Emmaus on the evening of the Resurrection. They were discussing the events that they had just witnessed when a stranger approached them and began to speak to them. They invited the stranger into the conversation and began to share with him all that had happened to Jesus. The stranger then began to explain to them all the passages in Scripture that referred to Jesus and how Jesus had to suffer and die. They finally reached Emmaus and the disciples asked the stranger to stay with them for the evening. It was during the evening meal in the breaking of the bread that the eyes of the disciples were opened and recognized that the stranger was actually Jesus.

This story still takes place today in the lives of the disciples of Jesus. Jesus is with us as we journey through life together and as we share our life’s stories. Jesus is with us in our daily lives. As we gather for Sunday Eucharist, our eyes are opened and we recognize Jesus present among us. During this year of Eucharistic Revival, let us ask the Lord to open our eyes to this great miracle that takes place every time we come together for Mass. Let us also renew our commitment to our Lord and to one another to make Sunday a Mass a priority in our lives. HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!
