Walking the Road of Emmaus Two thousand years ago a beautiful story was written. I am sure that this same story has come alive many times over the 150 years of our community Emmaus. Two years ago, we have seen this story again coming alive: WE-EMMAUS are walking this road with the blessing of so many children; YES they are on the road with us too! And as the Bible story progresses, it tells us that only is in the breaking of the bread that eyes are opened; then, WE are able to recognize OUR Lord. Yes OUR Lord is in the children at Emmaus. That is what some of us have seen when WE break the bread insede of Emmaus. Two thousand years ago Jesus did teach and explain so many things on the road to Emmaus but the disciples did not get it! Today perhaps, His disciples are in the same position, even when he speaks to us in our own languages, we may not understand or be able to see who is walking with us. The Lord helps us to see who is on the road walking with us and also when you sit us at your table helps us to share the bread that you have provided to us with those who are around us. This is my theological reflection, now let me introduce to you some word of a disciple, Rachel Benson, who has been walking with these children. “For little over a month now the youth of Emmaus Lutheran church have been meeting to talk about a range of topics. From a little exert of appreciation towards their own mothers on Mother's Day, to coming up to the service to give the bread and wine to their parents on Father's Day. It is a goal of Pastor Jhon Freddy with the aid of Rachel Benson as well as using the older teens and young adults to help teach the children of today important values such as acceptance, respect, and friendship. For example a simple teaching activity could be working with the parachutes and having everyone working together for a common goal. They will continue to meet every Sunday during the Latino Service between 12:30 and 1:30pm.” God explain again to us, o better of break the bread for us, so that we can recognize you, and also make that our hearts can feel the burning passion of your love! Amen.
