We are a Catholic community of believers, rich in tradition and growing in diversity.

3rd SUNDAY OF EASTER

“Jesus himself drew near and walked

with them, but their eyes were prevented from

recognizing him.” The disciples on the road to

Emmaus had already heard reports about Jesus’

resurrection. It was at the forefront of their

minds, but in spite of this, they did not recog-

nize Jesus when he stood right before them.

Why not? Perhaps because they weren’t

looking for him. Maybe they didn’t really be-

lieve that he was alive. Or it could be that his

appearance was not the same as it had been be-

fore. Whatever the case, it’s very interesting to

learn that it was actually while celebrating the

Eucharist that these men finally realized who

was right there with them! “He was made

known to them in the breaking of bread.”

Living as we do some two thousand

years later, it is easy to imagine that recogniz-

ing Jesus was a snap for those who walked the

earth when he did. We can run the risk of feel-

ing sorry for ourselves that we don’t get to see

Jesus in

p e r s o n

they way

they did.

But look

here! It

w a s

through

t h e

E u c h a -

rist that Christ was made known to them, and

we too have that gift right in front of us. We

celebrate every week the same “breaking of

bread” at the altar during Mass. Jesus is pre-

sent with us, body, blood, soul, and divinity,

even if we don’t recognize him! He is there,

present in our midst.

If our eyes of faith are feeble, we can

pray that the Lord will help us to know his

presence in the Eucharist. Just as he came to

comfort and accompany his first disciples, he

wants to do the same for us through the Most

Blessed Sacrament. We only need to be sure

that we are always on the lookout to find him in

our midst.
