Wednesday Easter Week

 

Where Are You Going?

Where are you going today?

Work?

Home?

An Errand?

Visiting someone?

A Walk?

Did you see the Risen Lord walking next to you?

The disciples on the road to Emmaus did not see Him either. Lk. 24:15-16

Yet Jesus was walking right beside them but they did not notice it was Him. 

Every where we go, the Risen Christ is walking beside us. 

The Risen Lord is not bound by time and space. 

So He can be right there, beside each one of us.

But do we see Him?

What prevents us from seeing Him?

For the disciples on the road to Emmaus it was their sorrow. 

For others it might be the distractions of life. 

Others might be in too much of a hurry. 

And others might not even be looking for Him. 

Along the road of life, the Risen Lord walks beside us and whispers in our ears. 

We hear His words as the disciples on the road to Emmaus did, and maybe even our hearts burn at times as did theirs, but like them we still do not see Him. Lk. 24:32

It was not until the Breaking Of The Bread that they recognized Him. Lk. 24:30-31

It is in the Eucharist that we receive at Mass;

The Bread that is Broken and given to us in Communion that our eyes are fully opened to see what is burning in our hearts as we walk along the Road of Life. 

For in the Breaking Of The Bread Christ is fully present in His Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity and His Words are finally made clear to us. 

If you are lost along the way;

If your heart is burning;

If you cannot see the Risen Lord walking beside you;

Go to the Eucharist!

Go to the celebration of the Breaking of the Bread!

And there you will see Him!
