Jesus road to emmausweek

7 - 13 May 2011

Easter 3

Luke 24.13-35

Context

We continue to celebrate Easter listening to our last intimate conversation as we read in St Luke’s Gospel of the journey to Emmaus, at the end of which the unrecognised risen Christ is revealed as he breaks bread.

Common thread: Getting to know (Luke 24.13-35)

This week we discover that conversation demands more than our casual attention and that revelations of the risen Christ are dependent, perhaps, on a degree of openness to the moment and possibility.

An alternative thread, Being spontaneous, is based on Acts 2.14a,36-41 and continues our encounter with the Early Church.

These resources were first published in Issue 53 May/June 2011.
