Friends of the Rosary,

In today’s Gospel, two disciples meet Jesus on the road to Emmaus, summarizing for them the entire biblical story and showing how it culminates in the Messiah who offers a sacrifice for the salvation of the world.

God foretold his saving plan through the words and deeds of “Moses and all the prophets,” and then he fulfilled them through his Son’s death on the cross.

Jesus became present to them.

However, even today, people continue to be slow of heart to believe, with their eyes being prevented from recognizing him.

The Lord Jesus, however, is relentless in his love. He “draws near,” “walks with us,” admonishes, instructs, and inflames our hearts.

Sitting down with them at the table, Jesus “took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them.” Repeating the breaking of the bread of the Last Supper, Jesus made present for them the sacrifice of the cross.

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!

Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will. Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
