THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER 

GOSPEL: Luke 24:13-35 

On our own we cannot grasp the mystery of the resurrection.
The two disciples on the road to Emmaus were “conversing and debating”;
they could recount the facts but could not believe the mystery.
Yet they greatly desired to move from disappointment and unbelief to hearts burning with life and belief—
they invited Jesus to stay the night with them.
Our own participation in Word and sacrament must give rise to the same desire in us:
to seek Life by journeying deeper into the mystery. 

ALLELUIA! CHRIST IS RISEN!
