To Me it means that the Lord lives and dwells in Me.He is with Me where ever I go . He said He would not abandon us and that He would be with us always.It means His presence is all around Me and that I am under His protection.We never want to be away from our Lord .We want Him by our side always. Oh what a sweet Spirit. God Bless sister.

INTRODUCTION

1. “Stay with us, Lord, for it is almost evening” (cf. *Lk *24:29). This was the insistent invitation that the two disciples journeying to Emmaus on the evening of the day of the resurrection addressed to the Wayfarer who had accompanied them on their journey. Weighed down with sadness, they never imagined that this stranger was none other than their Master, risen from the dead. Yet they felt their hearts burning within them (cf. v. 32) as he spoke to them and “explained” the Scriptures. The light of the Word unlocked the hardness of their hearts and “opened their eyes” (cf. v. 31). Amid the shadows of the passing day and the darkness that clouded their spirit, the Wayfarer brought a ray of light which rekindled their hope and led their hearts to yearn for the fullness of light. “Stay with us”, they pleaded. And he agreed. Soon afterwards, Jesus’ face would disappear, yet the Master would “stay” with them, hidden in the “breaking of the bread” which had opened their eyes to recognize him…

Annunciata, your post is perfect! Thank you so much for it!

When I think of “stay with us, Lord,” I think of how slow I am to remember he is with me always and when I finally remember, I want him to stay and stay and stay! or rather, I want to remain mindful always of his presence.

I know he will never leave me for he is faithful, so when I think about him “staying” I am inclined to pray “LORD, may I never kick you out of my heart.” I ask him to prepare a room in my heart just how he likes it, you know, throw pillows, etc. before I receive communion and then I pray that I never kick him out.
