Prayer for Our Journey to Emmaus
God, our Father, on the road to Emmaus,
Jesus, Your Son nurtured disciples with the Word of scripture and
nourished their faith with the Breaking of Bread.
On our journey of life,
renew our communities,
restore our hope, and
inspire enthusiasm to practice our faith.
Increase our commitment to follow You with compassion in our hearts, and
dedication to the Gospel.
As disciples and friends of Jesus,
empower us with courage, and
humility to serve Your people.
Jesus, meet us on the road to Emmaus.
Walk with us, Lord. Amen.
Join us as we explore ways to strengthen our own relationship with Jesus.
This week, here are some ways to learn more:
- Think about your relationship with Jesus
- Read the Emmaus story for yourself in Luke 24: 13-35
- If you were to journey with Jesus to Emmaus...
- Name three things you would have in your backpack?
- What would Jesus have in His backpack?
- Questionnaires are available at the back of each church the weekend of February 15-16. Submit your responses.
Two disciples, after experiencing the resurrection of our Lord, are on their way to the town of Emmaus when they unknowingly come upon Jesus. The disciples do not recognize our Lord and proceed to share what they had just witnessed. Together, they walk and talk until they reach Emmaus, where Jesus invites them to break bread. It’s at this moment the disciples realize they have been walking with Jesus and didn't even know it.
Those who participated in the Encounter Retreat last fall got a taste of spending quality time with Jesus. The Road To Emmaus is an opportunity to continue that journey. We invite everyone to travel on this journey and experience the riches of our Catholic Faith. More to come each week!
