I love this first reading so much. Here a miracle of Jesus is being performed
even though He already died! His power is working just as strongly through
Peter and John! This is what I expect to see often, and I see it never. Yes,
I do see it, but not in the powerful and public way it is expressed here!
What made them choose this particular man? Why did they say “look at us”?
Did they ever speak this way to anyone else and get these results, or not get
these results?

And now about the gospel and the story of Emmaus. What exactly is the
“something” that prevented them from recognizing Him? Number two: Why
does Jesus say, “You foolish men!” when earlier He told everyone that it is
equal to murder to say to a man, “You fool!” And now something new: The
Eleven said to the Emmaus disciples, “The Lord has truly been raised and
has appeared to Simon!” Where is the despription of this? He appeared to
all Eleven I thought, and when Jesus cooked the fish breakfast outside, Peter
wasn’t the only one there either. I’d really like to know what happened when
Jesus appeared just to Peter.

In the psalm, we are told to make known His deeds among the peoples, and
to tell all His works. Who are the peoples, are they everyone? And what works
should we be telling about, and how often, and to who?

So what struck you about today’s readings?:bible1::twocents:
 
“They recognized Him in the breaking of the Bread”. Here is the risen Jesus, explaining from Moses through all the prophets the prophesies concerning Him, to these disciples whom I assume were very close to Him in life. And they didn’t recognize Him until the Eucharist!!! The source and summit of all graces!!!

God Bless!
To Jesus, through Mary
