The Emmaus Story
Sunday Mass
On The Road to Emmaus...
Jesus walked with two of his disciples on the road to Emmaus but they did not recognise him until they broke bread together.
Jesus walked with his disciples, yet they did not realise it was him. Did we walk with Jesus before COVID-19 but did not recognise him on our journey?
Before COVID-19, we lived in our own individual worlds, our thoughts and dreams were our own and our expectations were our own. We may or may not have had time to slow down and let Jesus into our lives, to guide us, to show us the way forward. If anything, this lockdown journey that we have lived for the last four weeks has enabled us to slow down in our lives to think about and reflect on where we've come from and where we are heading.
Looking back to life before COVID-19, can you think of a time that you walked with Jesus and did not even realise it?
On the road to Emmaus, Helge Boe
Let this Easter story (The Road to Emmaus) remind us today that Jesus is always with us. Matthew 28:20 tells us that Jesus is with us always until the end of time. What a gift this is for all of us!
May the Risen Lord continue to bless you and your families in your bubbles.
"God is so good - we ought to cling to Him with love and hope"
St. Mary MacKillop (28.4.1873)
