Three Steps to Emmaus | #1623

Easter, 3rd Sunday • The Road to Emmaus is one of my favorite stories. It's possible that a married couple, Cleopas and his wife, are walking together. They are feeling discouraged and have been walking away from the church. Seeing Jesus in the Eucharist causes them to come back to the church. Do you want to see the risen Jesus? Then follow these three steps from today's Gospel: Be really honest with Jesus. Put your burdens in front of him. Receive what Jesus wants to say to you. Are you making time each day to read the Word of God? Invite Jesus deeper into your life. When we realize the Risen Jesus really is walking with us, we can say, as St. Peter does: I saw the Lord ever before me, with him at my right hand I shall not be disturbed.... You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence. (19 Apr 2026) Going Deeper: How is the Holy Spirit calling you to invite Jesus more deeply into your life?
