SACRAMENTS

THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER

Today’s readings focus on a theme of “sojourning.” As Christian stewards, we

know our lives are a sojourn towards the ultimate destination of heaven.

Our Gospel passage today describes the sojourn of the two disciples on the road to

Emmaus. The two are dejected and despondent after Jesus’ death. They knew Jesus

personally. They had heard the Gospel message directly from His lips. They heard the

testimony of the women who discovered the empty tomb of our Lord and saw a vision

of angels announcing He was alive. They had been informed by other disciples who

went to the tomb that all was exactly as the women reported.

How much more obvious could the Good News be?

And yet, at times, the reaction of the two disciples describes our own stewardship jour-

ney, doesn’t it? We have the fullness of the Catholic faith, the power of the sacraments,

the support of our parish family. Yet, we

often lose our way. We fail to see all the

gifts we have been given. We lack trust in

the perfect goodness and almighty power

of God.

But notice what happens to the two men

when eyes are opened once again and they

recognize Jesus in the Eucharist — the

“breaking of the bread.” They are trans-

formed! Their hearts are set on fire with

love for the Lord and their faith. They recall that their hearts began “burning within”

as the Lord was explaining the Scriptures to them. When we find we have lost our

way, we can go to the same sources as the two disciples on the road to Emmaus — the

Scriptures and the Eucharist.

In this Easter season, resolve to feast deeply on these two sources of grace. They are

the fuel that will propel us on journey towards heaven.
