"You're probably very familiar with what happened to the two disciples of Jesus as they were walking to Emmaus on the day of the Resurrection. The event is recorded in St. Luke's Gospel (24: 13-35) and appears prominently in the liturgy during the Easter Season. . . .
"The Emmaus story is a
preacher's treasure chest. So many homiletic themes emerge from this
compelling and beautiful story. But here I'd like to focus on the simple
fact that the disciples were walking together, reflecting on what had
just happened in Jerusalem. Walking together, sharing their experience -
isn't that what the Church is all about?"
In a recent commentary, Bishop Thomas J. Tobin, of the Diocese of Providence
(RI), reflected on how no "Christian is an island, and no one can be a complete Catholic without the Church."
