ON THE ROAD TO EMMAUS
A poignant sentence in today’s Gospel reads: “While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and went with them, but their eyes were kept from recognizing him”. (Luke 24: 13-35)
How often in the rich tapestry of life we miss the mystery of encounter. Focusing on our present concerns, the world’s struggles we get stuck in the concrete, missing the space between, the energy that reveals the mystery. Once the company sat at table, shared a meal rich with meaning: “their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus”.
May our eyes awaken to Divine Love revealed in caring humanity.
May our hearts and minds be warmed by your presence here.
