Sunday 6th April 2008

 

Third Sunday of Easter


Reflection


On the road to Eammaus, the disciples were slow to recognize Jesus or understand why he had to die and rise from the dead. Jesus explained the scriptures to them and they then recognized him in the breaking of bread. Our celebration of the Eucharist reflects their experience. We listen with open hearts to the scriptures, we hear Jesus speak to us, and we recognize and receive him in the bread which is his Body.

 


Parish Missal Readings (Year 1) p 250 & Proper p 1038

 

First Reading Acts of the Apostles 2: 14.22-28
Peter proclaims the Good News of Jesus Christ.

 

Second Reading 1 Peter 1: 17-21
We have been saved by the blood of Jesus, the Lamb of God.

 

Gospel Luke 24: 13-35
The disciples recognize Jesus in the breaking of bread.
