Luke 24:13-35 | Have you ever been looking for something for hours, only to realize it was right in front of you all along? It’s mind-boggling how our perspective may be jaded by our expectations and how significant a fresh perspective may be. As we continue into the season of Easter, today we join with two of Christ’s disciples on the road who, initially, were kept from recognizing Jesus. But, by remaining on the journey and staying with Christ, eventually their eyes were opened, and they recognized their hearts were burning within them the entire time. Venturing forth onto our own journeys of faith, we invite you to join us as together we experience the presence of Christ through the Eucharist, and as open ourselves to the unexpected ways and places that Christ reveals himself to us.
