Fr. Jose – Parish Priest

Dear family members and friends, in today’s Gospel we see a beautiful encounter of two disciples with the risen Jesus. They were on their way to Emmaus when Jesus joined them. They were very sad because of the crucifixion of Jesus. They had not realised Jesus as the Saviour since what had happened to Jesus was quite unbelievable for them. But Jesus walked with them, explained the scriptures to them, opened their hearts to understand the scriptures and finally broke the bread where their eyes were opened and they recognised Jesus. We are called to such an encounter with Jesus in every Holy Eucharistic celebration. It is the time when our hearts are opened to receive the Word of God and see Jesus in the Holy Eucharist where the bread is broken. Let us open our hearts and eyes to have a personal encounter with Jesus in our every day life. Amen
