2014 GALA “The Vatican”

Recognizing Jesus

St. Peter speaks to us twice today. In the first reading, we hear an excerpt from his sermon on Pentecost; in the second, part of his first Letter. Once a frightened, uneducated fisher-man who often said just the wrong thing, now Peter is speak-ing what he knows to be true. Everything Jesus had said now

makes sense. His death and rising were all part of God’s plan, and our faith and hope can be centered on God. Today’s Gospel tells the story of Jesus’ walk to Emmaus with two of the disciples. Frightened, sad, and confused, the two don’t recognize Jesus, who tells them what we heard Peter say above: all this had to happen as part of God’s plan. In the end, these disciples recognize Jesus as we are to recognize Him—in the breaking of the bread.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

“Mystagogy,” reflection on the Easter mysteries, is the chief task of these great fifty days, a “pentecost,” in other words, of grace and renewal. Every Sunday we have accounts of Resurrection appearances of the Lord, and sketches of the earliest efforts at being church. Lent is described as a journey to the font, and Easter may be described in similar terms, since at the very beginning an angel tells the apostles that the Risen Lord “has gone before you into Galilee.” Galilee, of course, was the place where Jesus did His finest work, His preaching, His healing, His gathering the lost and the marginalized to the table. At Easter, we hurry to catch up, putting our renewed baptismal promises to work in our own personal Galilees, our little worlds waiting for a word of grace, a healing, an act of pardon, an invitation to share a meal. The water often splashed on our Sunday assemblies in East-ertide remind us: these are the golden, shining days of grace, days to nurture the heart, to speak to one another about things that really matter.
