thanks a lot! It's so refreshing for the all-life Catholics (with so much routine in our faith) to hear such enthusiastic commentary of biblical scenes. Thank you so much!

thank you for this! had my Lectio Divina of the Road to Emmaus today ❤

Our Lord, definitely likes to sneak up on people 😅 haha but kidding aside, just when we get doubtful/fearful/lost, He reminds us that He is always with us

All through Lent and throughout the pandemic, we have been so blest to have Dr. Bergsman's talks, along with other St. Paul's Center speakers, helping us to unpack Scripture. We wouldn't miss any of them! Thank you and God bless!!

It is a prototype of the mass? Wonderful! Take that, Traditionalists! Jesus was facing those who were going to receive when he lifted the bread and broke it. What a great way to get them to conform to the right way of doing things.

Thank you very much for the reflection.

Regarding "the road to Emmaus" Gospel passage. I like to think about it as the 1st mass open to the general public. Also, although many assume the two disciples were men, it could be a married couple. I love this passage because my dad's name was Cleophas (the French spelling of the named disciple)

[brianmelville]

It is really a mass. The lesson now is not to keep seeing Jesús with your eyes but with your heart as in the blessed bread. Another of the greater miracles.

The disciples on the road to emmaus.... my favourite Bible story.

Columbo didn't pretend to be dumb, he was dumb. It was the writers of the show who were smart
