RETURN TO WORSHIP
“They recognized him at the breaking of bread”. This verse shows the paramount place of the Eucharist in the life of the disciples. Every one of us come to recognize Jesus better at the breaking of bread. Jesus himself left us with this responsibility when he says “Do this in memory of me”.
At the breaking of bread our cold hearts begin to burn, our blind eyes are opened, and our souls are filled with grace, peace and joy. Therefore, strengthened by the grace from the Holy Eucharist like the two disciples from Emmaus let us return to “Jerusalem” and resume our worship. Let’s return to God and be more docile to his promptings.
Similarly, at the beautiful gate, Peter healed a man who was disabled. He had his spiritual senses awakened. He entered the temple after receiving healing, where he joined the congregation of worshipers. Every spiritual experience ought to improve our relationship with God and take us from the outside to the inside of the temple. Lastly, we are reminded to ask those who hang around our church gates to join us inside the church for spiritual benefits.
LET US PRAY
Holy Lord, your followers gave to your children something more powerful and more valuable than riches. Help us to bring healing and hope to our world. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
