Yesterday, Fr. Dan Griffith and I co-led a session on the Post-Resurrection Appearances at Our Lady of Lourdes. I discussed John 21 and Fr. Dan discussed Emmaus. Since I have in the past shared my reflection on Jesus’ appearance to his disciples on the beach you can find a podcast of one of my talks on that passage here, I thought I’d share some of the questions Fr. Dan left the parishioners with after talking about Jesus’ appearance to the two disciples on the road to Emmaus.
Do our hearts burn when we read the scripture? (Do we take the time for Bible study and reading?)
Where to we recognize Christ in the world?
Do we understand Jesus is always with us? Do we know he has something to say to us?
Do we witness to Christ from a place of faith?
As I’ve said before, I thing there is great value to spending time during the Easter season praying with the post-resurrection appearances of Jesus to his disciples. In adddition to Fr. Dan’s questions, here is the two handout we gave parishioners today so further their prayer with the two appearances we talked about.
