Third Sunday of Easter

Here are the readings for Third Sunday of Easter, May 8, 2011:

Acts 2: 14, 22-33
Psalm 16: 1-2, 5, 7-11
1 Peter 1: 17-21
Luke 24: 13-35

You will show us the path of life proclaims the psalmist, and in our Gospel we find Jesus walking the path with his disciples helping them to understand, through the eyes of faith, the events they've just experienced.
 

As you read through this Gospel story of the appearance of Jesus on the road to Emmaus, consider the similarities to what we do when we gather for Mass: bringing our joys and sorrows of the week together, interpreting them in the light of Sacred Scripture, and recognizing Jesus' real presence among us in the Eucharistic meal. Note also that their response to this recognition is to run out and share the Good News (Go in peace to love and serve the Lord!!)

• How does the presence of Jesus help you live your faith?
• What happens when you are able to recognize the presence of Christ in your midst?

There is no Mystagogia session this Sunday (Happy Mother's Day!). We will see you all on May 15 at 10:45am in the Living Room of the CARE Center.

Inquiry is this Tuesday at 7pm. Please contact Cathy Rusin for more information.
