Bible Study on the Road to Emmaus - The Inner Life - April 17, 2026

Father Joseph Illo joins Patrick to lead a Sunday Bible Study on the Road to Emmaus (10:32) Gospel Luk 24: 13-35 How does this passage reflect the Mass? (26:03) Break 1 (28:04) Deacon Michael - My homily is very simple...point about not recognizing Christ is because we're all walking the road to Emmaus. Christ shows up and we have got to be attentive and see Christ. sometimes it's obvious. (30:25) Robert - Father said reading the scripture with good compendium or commentary. I came across a comment recently and I think a lot of folks don't know what a good commentary would be. Could you provide more about this? Paul - Interesting that he consecrated the bread and it's because perhaps he was present in the bread and had to be there. (37:47) Alex - My church started an Emmaus retreat which is all over now. Been immersed with this reading for years. I continue to learn from it. One part left out is discussing...let's not forget Jesus went farther. They invited him in. What would have happened if they didn't invite him in? What a lost opportunity this would have been. Think of how this relates to our lives. (41:26) Break 2 (42:35) Abby - Road to Emmaus...I was curious on seeing Christ in our moments of joy and blessing as well. Where do we align that with Christ? How we are in the light in Christ even when in darkness Daniel - Inviting Jesus in. In Jeremiah...you will find me when you search for all your heart. You're supposed to go after God with all your heart.
