Yesterday's Reflection

Wednesday within the Octave of Easter

Reflection

They said to each other: were not our hearts burning within us while he spoke to us on the way and opened the Scriptures to us? He was made known to them in the breaking of bread.

“The Lord remembers his covenant for ever.”

— Psalm 105:8

Forged, Not Found
