Description
Today, our Easter Wednesday homily celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ through a reflection on the biblical account of the journey to Emmaus. I begin by sharing personal details regarding my 64th birthday, emphasizing a spiritual formula of gratitude, pardon, and petition. I explain how human selfishness and material attachments can blind believers to God's presence in their daily lives. By recounting the story of the disciples who encountered the Risen Lord, I encourage listeners to invite Jesus to stay with them during both trials and joys. Ultimately, I highlight the Holy Eucharist as the primary means by which modern believers can recognize and encounter a living Christ.
