THEIR EYES WERE PREVENTED FROM RECOGNIZING HIM…

Those words come from the Gospel for this Third Sunday of Easter, the encounter with Jesus that takes place on the road to Emmaus. The two disciples travelling from Jerusalem were “looking down-cast” as they made that seven mile journey on “the first day of the week” because all they could think of was Calvary, all they could re-member was the violent death of their teacher. When Jesus met them, talked to them, and told them how “foolish” they were, they listened, but failed to recognize him. It was only when he accepted their invi-tation to stay with them as evening drew on and then sat down at table to “break bread” with them, that they were finally able to rec-ognize him—only to have him “vanish” from their sight. At once, they returned to Jerusalem and told the other disciples locked away in the upper room about their encounter with the Risen Lord, and “how he was made known to them in the breaking of bread.”

The question is: where are we in that story? That really is the ques-tion we should always ask ourselves when we read or hear a passage from scripture. Well, I think this is where we are right now….We are people of faith, accustomed to meeting Jesus time after time in “the breaking of bread.” We recognize him there when he nourishes us with his risen body and blood; we treasure that intimate encounter with him that we name Eucharist—thanksgiving for the gift of his life. But that particular way of encountering him has been taken from us during these difficult days. We find ourselves in the Emmaus story not sitting at table with Jesus but hopefully still walking with him on The Way—the very first description of what would come to be called Christianity.

In a sense, we who have supped with him so many times throughout our lives find ourselves back on the road, not “sitting at table” with him. So perhaps we need to ask ourselves a few more questions. As we walk this very unfamiliar road in the springtime of 2020, can we still feel his presence in our lives? Can we hear him reminding us of “how foolish” we sometimes are when we fail to trust in the power of our faith or in his enduring love for us? Are we listening to his voice challenging us to continue the journey we’re on, knowing that life, not death, always has the last word for a disciple?

We may indeed be on a journey that feels even longer than a seven mile hike, but the Risen Lord is walking with us. It may still be some time before we sit down again with him and with one another to break bread, but we will get there. Emmaus really isn’t that far away.

ANGELS AMONG US

In the mid 90’s the country rock band Alabama, recorded a most beautiful

song called Angels Among Us. Here is chorus:

O, I believe there are angels among us,

Sent down to us from somewhere up above,

They come to you and me in our darkest hours,

To show us how to live,

to teach us how to give,

To guide us with the light of love.

In three short days, the normal, monthly routine of providing meals and

supplies to the clients of Saint Lawrence O'Toole Homeless Shelter was

swept away. Yet without hesitation our team from Saint Joseph’s Parish

stepped forward to fill the needs of the shelter in a most tumultuous of

times. We prayed, we organized and we executed!

Many thanks to Karin Fortson who took it upon herself to purchase, pre-

pare and deliver the food and supplies for the evening, lunch and break-

fast meals. There are angels among us!

Many thanks to Rose Ann Rooney who prepared and delivered her famous

corn bake casserole; to Julie Orbik who prepared and delivered her won-

derful cupcakes; to Erin Roeper who picked up and delivered baked goods

and salad. And to Theresa Funke and Peg Boivin who picked up and deliv-

ered gallons or juices, ice tea and lunch bags. There are angels among.

Thanks to Louise Musto and Terry Giblin who are already asking about

how they can contribute next month! There are angels among us!

And to the entire team including:

Chuck Funke Brian Herkert

Emmet Cassidy Deb and Joe Duquette

Ron Schmitt Laura Gaughan

Peggy Adducci Erin Roeper

Bill Nason Dominic and Nadine Garofalo

Eric Griffiths Rita, Brad and Morgan Davenport

Becki Calomino

whose prayers, encouragement, direction and inspiration keep us focused

on our task at hand, to serve and provide for those most in need and cer-

tainly in the future. You are the angels among us!

THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER

What does it take for our eyes to be opened? Every day, a man labo-

riously walks down Main Street of town. With great difficulty but

graceful determination, he places one foot in front of the other,

uses a crudely made staff for support, and walks. His pace is slow,

but he walks. What does he hope to see? Where does he want to

go? What does he find? We all walk through life. The type of

―walking‖ life requires is not always physical but is most assuredly

emotional and spiritual. We walk, we look, we encounter, and we

seek. How we do these things and what we actually find is deter-

mined by what we carry and what we allow ourselves to discover

along the way.

If walking is too challenging for us, we may choose to isolate and

stay alone. If we are afraid to walk, we may become overly depend-

ent on others providing for us and abandon the journey. We can

walk and pay attention only to what is in front of our feet and never

notice the immensity of what is happening around us. The road is

never the same twice. The journey is always different. What kinds of

things do you notice as you walk through life? It seems that the dis-

ciples of the Road to Emmaus missed a lot at first. We do as well.

We are called to walk with purpose, to listen, and to notice things

that may not at first be apparent. We have to allow the One who has

a special claim on our soul to enlighten, instruct, and inspire us. The

incarnate mystery of God is pulsating in and through all of creation,

where the presence of the Word who became flesh can be discov-

ered. He has been with us all along. How could we have missed

Him? Our journey brings us back to the breaking of the bread, and

something begins to stir within us. We begin to understand, and

things look differently. Bread, body, wine, and blood bring us to see

that everyone and everything is a ―Eucharistic‖ encounter. We be-

come what we eat and we see what we eat. We continue to walk.

Our eyes are now opened, and we recognize Him. Our hearts burn.

Stay with us. Please stay with us. ©LPi

For Your Information 5 THINGS TO DO TO IMPROVE YOUR MENTAL HEALTH BY ERICA NOONAN

COVID-19 is stressful. From concerns over health to being cooped up at home, it’s normal to feel some anxi-

ety during this tumultuous time. How can you make your mental health a priority?

Try following these 5 mental health practices to help make each day a little easier:

Self-isolating with children? Dr. Munther Barakat, Director of Behavioral Health Therapy at Aurora Psychiatric

Hospital in Wauwatosa, WI, offers this advice for parents, ―Maintaining a schedule during the day is helpful

for children. It creates a sense of safety that comes with predictability. Some parents have posted a schedule

in the house to provide a visual for the day.‖

For Your Information

SAINT JOSEPH THE WORKER FEAST DAY MAY 1

Joseph understood the importance of work.

He was a carpenter—a builder—and probably

taught Jesus his trade. Through his work, Jo-

seph honored the Father in heaven and con-

tinued the act of creation. He lived in dignity.

To give workers a patron, the Church turned

to Joseph, who had been made the Patron of

the Universal Church by Pope Pius IX in 1870

and the model for fathers of families. Joseph

was named protector of workers by Pope Benedict XV, and in 1955, the

feast of Saint Joseph the Worker on May 1 was proclaimed by Pius the XII.

Let us pray to Saint Joseph for his help in all our work and for those many

people who want and need jobs but cannot find them. © 2020 Loyola Press. All Rights Reserved. Used With Permission. www.LoyolaPress.com

RESPONSIBILITY OF A GODPARENT

As the godfather for my niece, what must I do as she grows up? Are there

specific responsibilities I have?

The biggest responsibility you have as a godparent is to set a good exam-

ple of practicing faith. Receiving the sacraments and taking an active part

in your parish teaches by deed and shows your godchild how to live a life

of faith. Next to the child’s parents, your role can be one of great influence

in her religious formation and education.

What else can you do? A special remembrance on the day the child was

baptized can highlight its importance. As the child grows older, discus-

sions about God, Jesus, matters of faith, and the parish provide opportuni-

ties to share your own beliefs and practices. Celebrate first Penance, first

Communion, and Confirmation as key moments in your godchild’s faith

journey. Parents and godparents share in this responsibility in a unique

and special way. Your obligations do not end with the ceremony of Bap-

tism, but are just the beginning. ©LPi

EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP

RECOGNIZE GOD IN YOUR

ORDINARY MOMENTS

MEAN WHAT YOU SAY

Missouri is known as the ―Show

Me‖ state. There seem to be

differing points of view as to

how this motto came into exis-

tence, but today it is said to

speak of a people who operate

with common sense and are not

easily fooled by slick-talking or

show. We would be prudent to

adopt such a disposition our-

selves. To be this way is not

really like St. Thomas in the

Gospel when he doubts what he

clearly sees right in front of him.

It is more about holding our-

selves to a standard explained

in another motto: ―Say what you

mean and mean what you say.‖

If we claim to be Christians, dis-

ciples of the risen Jesus, then

those around us should be able

to tell by our actions. Can some-

one truly be a disciple of Jesus

and not be a good steward of all

he has given? Jesus makes

himself known to us continually

in the Holy Eucharist. When we

come together to break bread

at Mass, Jesus shows us his

love by becoming truly present

to us. He is willing to show us.

What are we in turn willing to

show him?

Every day, Jesus calls us to re-

spond in some way. Our re-

sponse shows whether we are

who we claim: his disciples. I

am pretty sure Jesus is not from

Missouri, but I know he is not

fooled by our half-truths and

misguided intentions. He also

means what he says and says

what he means. Shouldn’t his

disciples do the same?

Today’s Readings THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER

Sunday, April 26, 2020

First Reading

Acts 2:14,22-33

the dead.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 16:1-2,5,7-11

God will show us the path of life.

Second Reading

1 Peter 1:17-21

You were saved by Christ’s sacrifice.

Gospel Reading

Luke 24:13-35

Jesus appears to two disciples who are walking to Emmaus.

BACKGROUND ON THE GOSPEL READING

On most Sundays during the Easter season in Cycle A, our Gospel is taken from the Gospel of John. This

week’s Gospel, however, is taken from the Gospel of Luke. As in last week’s Gospel, today’s Gospel shows us

how the first community of disciples came to believe that Jesus had risen from the dead. In these stories we

gain insight into how the community of the Church came to be formed.

When we read today’s Gospel, we may be surprised to learn that these friends of Jesus could walk and con-

verse with him at some length yet not recognize him. Again we discover that the risen Jesus is not always

easily recognized. Cleopas and the other disciple walk with a person whom they believe to be a stranger; only

later do they discover that the stranger is Jesus. We learn that the first community met and recognized Jesus

in the breaking of the bread, just as we meet Jesus in the Eucharist.

We can imagine the feelings of the two disciples in today’s reading. They are leaving their community in Jeru-

salem. Their friend Jesus has been crucified. Their hope is gone. They are trying to make sense of what has

occurred, so that they can put the experience behind them.

Jesus himself approaches the two men, but they take him for a stranger. Jesus asks them what they are dis-

cussing. He invites them to share their experience and interpretation of the events surrounding his crucifixion

and death. When the two disciples have done so, Jesus offers his own interpretation of his crucifixion and

resurrection, citing Jewish Scripture. In that encounter we find the model for our Liturgy of the Word—what we

do each time we gather as a community for the Eucharist. We reflect upon our life experiences and interpret

them in light of Scripture. We gather together to break open the Word of God.

In the next part of the story, we find a model for our Liturgy of the Eucharist. The disciples invite the stranger

(Jesus) to stay with them. During the meal in which they share in the breaking of the bread, the disciples’

eyes are opened; they recognize the stranger as Jesus. In the Eucharist too we share in the breaking of the

bread and discover Jesus in our midst. Just as the disciples returned to Jerusalem to recount their experi-

ence to the other disciples, we too are sent from our Eucharistic gathering. Our experience of Jesus in the

Eucharist compels us to share the story with others. © 2020 Loyola Press. All Rights Reserved. Used With Permission. www.LoyolaPress.com

Growing with the Gospel

Gospel Reading : Luke 24:13-35 Jesus appears to two disciples who are walking to Emmaus.

Family Connection Families, as the domestic church, have the opportunity to make the family

meal a time of prayerful encounter with one another and with Jesus. At a family

meal we share our experiences of the day and connect them with the experi-

ences of others in the family. We can also enjoy the meal as an opportunity to

reflect upon our family life in light of Scripture. At their best our family meals

can connect us to Jesus too.

Choose a family meal this week to share one another’s experiences of the

week in a special way. Perhaps invite family members to plan and prepare the

meal together. Begin the meal by reading today’s Gospel, Luke 24:13-35. As

you eat, talk together about how the disciples discussed their experiences in

Jerusalem and how they came to understand them differently when Jesus inter-

preted those events in the light of Scripture. Then invite each family member to

share the things that are going on in his or her life. Consider what Jesus might

say to each person if he were sitting at your dinner table. Conclude with a spe-

cial prayer after your dinner. Pray a prayer of blessing for each family member,

asking that Jesus continue to be present in each person’s life, helping each

one to be a better follower of Jesus. Conclude with a Sign of Peace.
