RECOGNIZING JESUS
St. Peter speaks to us twice today. In the first
reading, we hear an excerpt from his sermon on
Pentecost; in the second, part of his first Letter.
Once a frightened, uneducated fisherman who
often said just the wrong thing, now Peter is
speaking what he knows to be true. Everything Jesus had said now makes
sense. His death and rising were all part of God’s plan, and our faith and
hope can be centered on God. Today’s Gospel tells the story of Jesus’ walk
to Emmaus with two of the disciples. Frightened, sad, and confused, the
two don’t recognize Jesus, who tells them what we heard Peter say above:
all this had to happen as part of God’s plan. In the end, these disciples
recognize Jesus as we are to recognize him—in the breaking of the bread.

SECOND COLLECTION
This weekend is our second collection after Holy Communion to benefit
the Parish Improvement Fund. Thank you for your support and prayers
for our parish community!
The two journeying on the road to
Emmaus were so preoccupied in
their own suffering that they failed
to recognize Christ beside them.
JOURNEY
Find JOY in the
When Pope Francis was elected
over one year ago, he stepped
OURNEY
out on the balcony at St. Peter’s
and addressed the whole world.
In his moving address, he used
the word “journey” four times. This
is a word that should stick with us
while Pope Francis serves as shepherd. Often times we look at life as a
series of events rather than a whole journey. This can be frustrating
especially when the dramatic events of life wear us down. The walk to
Emmaus is a powerful reminder that we are on a journey and Jesus
Christ walks with us. In order to keep the hope of the resurrection with
us always, we need to let our journey mirror that of those early disciples
on the Road to Emmaus. Pay attention to the details: They were
disciples of Jesus. They could openly discuss their faith struggles. They
relied on the Scriptures to interpret their lives. They welcomed the
stranger who was the Risen Christ. They listened to him. They invited
him to stay. In the breaking of the bread, they saw things clearly. They
changed the direction of their journey to head back towards the church.
Is your Catholic faith a journey, or just a series of unconnected church
events? Pope Francis is like the voice of Peter in our first reading,
reminding us that life is a journey, we are on the path, and we must
keep Christ ever before us.

MAY 4TH: CATHOLIC APOSTOLIC & MAY 18TH: GOD IS GOOD
This Gospel to me depicts many common
attitudes toward God in our current time.
The men did not believe in the
Resurrection of Jesus Christ, until He
broke the bread and proved himself to
them. I think many people today have the
same views. Many choose to ignore the
Lord and do not find it necessary to praise
Him daily. It seems we only choose to
acknowledge Christ when something good
or big happens. I know that I can relate to
that, too. I know God is always with me,
but I am not always
aware of His presence.
I try to remember that
when we break bread in
the Eucharist, Christ is
present. After reading
this Gospel, I know that I
really have to focus on the Eucharist and
the presence of Christ at Mass.

RECONOCIENDO A JESÚS
San Pedro nos habla dos veces hoy. En la primera
lectura, escuchamos una parte de su sermón el día
de Pentecostés; en la segunda, parte de su primera
carta. Antes, un pescador asustado y sin mucha
educación que a menudo decía lo que no debía,
ahora dice lo que él sabe es la verdad. Todo lo que Jesús había dicho ahora
tiene sentido. Su muerte y resurrección eran parte del plan de Dios y
nuestra fe y esperanza se pueden centrar en Dios. El Evangelio de hoy nos
relata la historia de la caminata de Jesús hacia Emaús con dos de los
discípulos. Asustados, tristes y confusos, ninguno de los dos reconoció a
Jesús, quien les dice lo mismo que escuchamos de Pedro en la lectura
anterior: todo eso sucedió como parte del plan de Dios. Al final, los
discípulos reconocieron a Jesús por la misma acción que nosotros debemos
reconocerlo al partir el Pan. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Encuentra ALEGRIA
Cuando el Papa Francisco fue
elegido hace más de un año,
en el
AMINO
caminó hacia fuera en el balcón
en San Pedro y se dirigido a todo
el mundo. En su discurso
conmovedor, utilizó la palabra
"camino" cuatro veces. Esta es
una palabra que debería quedarte
con nosotros mientras que el Papa Francisco sirve como pastor. Muchas
veces nos fijamos en la vida como una serie de eventos en lugar de un
camino. Esto puede ser frustrante, especialmente cuando nos desgastan
los dramáticos acontecimientos de la vida. El camino a Emaus es un
poderoso recordatorio de que estamos en un camino y Jesús Cristo
camina con nosotros. Para mantener la esperanza de la resurrección
con nosotros siempre, necesitamos que nuestro comino refleje aquellos
primeros discípulos en el camino a Emaus. Pongamos atención a los
detalles: eran discípulos de Jesús. Podrían discutir abiertamente sus
luchas de fe. Dependían de las Escrituras para interpretar sus vidas.
Acogieron al extraño que era el Cristo resucitado. Ellos lo escucharon.
Lo Invitaron a quedarse. Y en el partimiento del pan, vieron las cosas
claramente. Cambiaron la dirección de su camino de regreso hacia la
iglesia. • ¿Está tu fe católica un camino o una serie de
acontecimientos separados de iglesia? Papa Francisco es como la
voz de Pedro en la primera lectura, nos recuerda que la vida es un
camino, estamos en el camino y debemos mantener en nosotros a Cristo
más que nunca.
