Yesterday's Reflection

Wednesday in the Octave of Easter

Reflection

The Emmaus disciples are walking the wrong direction - away from Jerusalem, away from the community, away from hope. Their posture is past tense: we were hoping. Then a stranger joins them and reframes everything.

This is the pattern of every Mass. Word, then table. Scriptures opened, then bread broken. Heart burning, then eyes opened. If Mass feels like going through the motions, you might be the Emmaus disciples before the stranger shows up. Stay at the table. The recognition comes in the breaking.

Peter at the Beautiful Gate: silver and gold I have not, but what I do have I give you. The Church's gift isn't money. It's the name of Jesus. Rise and walk.

“Rejoice, O hearts that seek the Lord. Alleluia.”

— Psalm 105:3
