Prayer Prompt before reading Acts 3:1-10 and LK 24:13-35: Come, Holy Spirit, teach me how to pray, interpret the Scriptures for me so that I may know the Truth about who God the Father is and God the Son is so that I may know who I am.
“WITH THAT THEIR EYES WERE OPENED AND THEY RECOGNIZED HIM, BUT HE VANISHED FROM THEIR SIGHT.” LK 24:13-35
Humbly submit your will to God (Thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary and Joseph.
Acts 3:1-10
As Christians we are called to help others, the greatest in need. We are to take care of those who nobody else will even come close to. Today, Peter must have felt something inside of him, maybe compassion for the cripple. Do you have the urge inside of you to help the least of God’s people?
It is interesting to me who Peter is so interested in helping after Christ’s resurrection. How does Peter know what to say to heal the man, “in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean, rise and walk.” This reminds me of, “Every knee shall bend in the heavens, on the earth, and under the earth to the name Jesus Christ.”
I am crippled in many ways, I think we all are in some way. Matthew Kelly, in his book “Rediscover Jesus” reminds us that we all have blind spots. Things others recognize in us that we don’t see in ourselves. Things our pride and ego have pushed away for so long we totally miss them about ourselves.
The things people never say to us but talk to others about because they don’t want to hurt our feelings. We all need Jesus Christ the Nazorean to heal us. When we recognize our brokenness and come to Jesus for healing we will be “walking and jumping and praising God.”
Lk 24:13-35
Does Jesus need to come back for us to know everything we need to know about how we are saved? Jesus said to the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, “Oh how foolish you are! How slow of heart to believe all that the prophets spoke! Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?” Then, Jesus proceeds to talk about all of the prophecies He fulfilled.
When asked, “How are you saved or why did you need a Savior, can you answer it? Most Catholics can’t. This might be “put in your mirror” material, so get ready to write it down.
1. Jesus Christ had to die and rise. God the Father requires blood to keep His covenants. Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. He is the bridge that crosses the chasm that Adam and Eve created with the Original Sin. (God redeeming His people after the fall of Adam and Eve; Jesus is the new Adam, Mary is the second Eve) There in the Garden Adam and Eve sinned, there in the Garden lies the tomb Jesus resurrected from.
2. Repent and be baptized. (Repent means to change the way you think about everything, This is our response to God’s love and mercy for His people; allow God to transform you with His grace)
3. We have to eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood; receive the Eucharist to have eternal life. [Jesus said,] “He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the Last Day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.” JN 6:54-55
4. Live our Baptismal promises out daily. I reject Satan. I believe Jesus is the Son of God (Creed)… (Are you rejecting Satan and fighting sin with a resolute heart? When falling are you going to confession often? We have amnesia (forget a lot) so we need to remind ourselves who we are and remind ourselves we are loved daily through reading the Scriptures and the catechism (Youcat-did you ask for one for Easter?)
We cannot worship something we do not know and you will live what you believe. Is the Word of God forming you or Youtube, Netflix, and video games? So, what do you believe? Your eternal state which cannot be changed depends on it. Live with the end in mind.
Last, Jesus uses the breaking of the bread to reveal Himself to the disciples. On Passover, Holy Thursday, He gives us Himself in the bread and wine until He returns. Do you believe the Eucharist is Jesus Christ? Think about it next time you go to Mass. Jesus says we must eat His flesh and drink His blood to have eternal life.
This is serious and a requirement! Buy a book about the Eucharist and read it before Mass. The Youcat says the origin of the liturgy/Mass is God. It is when He gives Himself to us, He cannot give any more than Himself! We must get to Mass more often. Honestly, what do we really believe in? We can’t worship or build a relationship with someone we don’t know.
Today’s challenge: Recognize we are crippled and we need Jesus the Nazorean to help us leap for joy into heaven. Be able to answer how we are saved as Christians (this is your Christian identity-we can’t live out something we can’t identify with) and most importantly live it-become a saint!
#Christian YODO (You Only Die Once; We will live again!)
Be a believer, be a saint today!
Jesus Christ, I believe, help my unbelief!
Jesus saved us. Jesus is our Savior, he gave our lives up for us and gave everything up for us. He saved us, and God gave his only son, Jesus Christ, up for us and showed us he is our Lord.
God tells us that we should love one another as he has loved us. This is a very beautiful thing and it is very true. We should try to act like God in all aspects of our life. We should hold the door open, and thank people because we would want them to do the same. We should always choose kindness and when we don’t have the strength we should ask what would Jesus do.
“The things that happened to Jesus the Nazarene,
who was a prophet mighty in deed and word
before God and all the people,
how our chief priests and rulers both handed him over
to a sentence of death and crucified him.
But we were hoping that he would be the one to redeem Israel;
and besides all this; this is what I believe.
I think that Jesus is trying to tell us that we have to believe in him and just keep praying and edventually he will answer our prayers. That Jesus loves us in every single way.
In todays Gospel Jesus shows himself to two disciples and he prevents them from recognizing him and asked what they were talking about and continued to ask questions about his own death. I think it was a test of faith to see what the disciples would say and would tell a random person to see if those disciples would spread the correct news not the news the Jews were trying to show.
We cannot worship something we do not know.this stuck out to me because yet we don´t know if he truly exists we still warship him we don´t k ow if he is real but there is so much evidence pointing to that he once walked the earth and he is truly real but we need to believe to truly find out
Today, in the gospel, Peter heals a crippled man. We may not be physically crippled, but we can be spiritually crippled. Jesus came to earth to heal us from our spiritual handicaps, and so did the apostles with Jesus through them. Not only can we be spiritually crippled, but also spiritually blind. On the road to Emmaus, Jesus meets up with two of his disciples, but they do not recognize Him, only when he dines with them do they realize who He is. Jesus opens our eyes to see the truth, we only have to be able to recognize Him.
In today’s gospel we are the apostles and Jesus comes to us we do not recongize him he asked what are you speaking of we reply “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem
who does not know of the things
that have taken place there in these days?” with vile in our tones for we do not realize he is standing their.
It is a part of Catholic social teaching that we should take care of other and the poor. Helping other people in the long run helps us. We are all called to serve whether that be for ourselves sometimes or the poor, or any other volunteering you can do. To get closer to God we need to know God which would help us live this way of life. The prophesies that Jesus had fulfilled had never happened before. Jesus Christ had to die and rise, we need to repent and be Baptized, We have to eat the flesh of man and drink His blood, and last we need to live our Baptismal promises daily. All of this helps us get closer to God and how we need to live our lives.
Repent and be baptized, means the way you think about everything. This is our response to God’s love and mercy for his people. God loves us so much that he can transform us through his very own grace. And receive the body of Jesus Christ and you will have eternal life with him in Heaven.
We as Christians are all called to help others as St Peter did in the first reading today even though we can’t all heal crippled people we can still help the homeless the needy and the less fortunate so we can get eternal life with Jesus in heaven
Today it is the great Gospel of Jesus RISING from the dead. He appears to the disciples and then Jesus says that they are foolish for not believing that he needed to die to save them and everyone else for all of eternity. This shows that God always has a plan and he will always make his plan for you to come true as long as you follow him. It may not be what you think his plan is right now. As they were getting closer to the village the prophets said to him that he should just stay with them. He agrees to this and goes for dinner. As he is breaking the bread he vanishes after their eyes have been opened. They realized that he fulfilled a bunch of prophets and was the Son of God. they returned to Jerusalem and told everyone that Jesus was back.
Have you ever been blindfolded and trying to recognize whose voice is the persons. But you don’t know because you are blindfolded. Your eyes have a big part in your life being able to see things and recognize things. Our ears can do that. We have a special party in our mind that allows us to recognize taste, sound, and images that occurred in the mind a long time ago. Well they are trying to say that when our eyes are opened we know. We know when we open our eyes. When we open our eyes to the truth we can be able to recognize that this is the truth because we opened our eyes to it and not blinded to the truth. What are you believing in. What do you open your eyes to that’s truth. What do you get out of bed every morning and say I believe because it’s the truth. Believe in something that’s truth. Blindfolded won’t save you, not being able to see will save you. Is the world blindfolding you, are you believing every single lie in the world that doesn’t matter to you. Open your eyes, say no to the world. You will be saved by God. That’s the truth. God is your father and savior
“The things people never say to us but talk to others about because they don’t want to hurt our feelings.” Today God is telling me that people will always talk about people it can be at school, work, home, outside, etc. Anywhere. People will talk about you behind your back and behind a lot of people’s back too. Not just you but almost everyone does this and sometimes they don’t even realize that their doing it. People just love to talk and nothing is going to stop that, you will even see old men talking too. No one will keep things to their self and say things to hopefully make them feel better. People will go hang out with the person they once talked about and act like they are friends, they aren’t really friends they are just acquaintances. You won’t ever find a real friend in that environment. Jesus hopes that we stop doing that one day and I open up to Him for you don’t need to put others down because you’re not confident, but lift each other up with words. If you don’t have anything nice to say, then don;t say it at all. You have more power than you think you do, you could easily hurt someone, but you can easily bring someone up in confidence. Follow God for He is the true way to life
In today’s Gospel these words stuck out to me: “Were not our hearts burning within us
while he spoke to us on the way and opened the Scriptures to us?” These words are talking about the fire that is burning within our souls when we pray or read the Bible or Go to Mass. Like the the song says “Set a fire down in my soul. That I can’t contain, I can’t control. I want more of You, God. I want more of You, God”
Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. The things people never say to us but talk to others about because they don’t want to hurt our feelings. We all need Jesus Christ the Nazorean to heal us.
Something that I got out of this was that Jesus isn’t always super obviously in front of us. Jesus doesn’t always come down in a golden stairway with angles playing trumpets, but perhaps he comes in the most humble of ways. Jesus started his life as a humble carpenter, so why do we think when he is trying to talk to us, that is should be any different. We need to always be ready to listen to Jesus, even when we think it could never happen. Because when we think that God is nowhere near, that is when he comes down.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus appears to two of His disciples and at first they don’t recognize Him. Once He breaks bread, though, they recognize Him and see that He is Jesus. God loves us and has revealed Himself to us, we need to believe in Him and love Him and be the best Catholics we can. He gave us the Mass and He died on the cross to save our sins. He also rose from the dead to heaven to give us eternal life.
“The Lord has truly been raised and has appeared to Simon!”
In this line they finally realized Jesus was with them and now is raised to Heaven. They at first just thought he was a visitor who hasn’t heard what happened to Jesus, so they explain, then Jesus says “Oh, how foolish you are! How slow of heart to believe all that the prophets spoke! Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?” They take in Jesus without knowing the have dinner, but as soon as he broke the bread and blessed it,they reconized him immediately. It shows the effect Jesus had on them in their life.
“The Lord has truly been raised and has appeared to Simon!”, in this gospel I feel Jesus telling me that I needed to believe in him raising from death like his apostles believed he did
“WITH THAT THEIR EYES WERE OPENED AND THEY RECOGNIZED HIM, BUT HE VANISHED FROM THEIR SIGHT.” LK 24:13-35
This part in the Gospel really stands out to me because it shows how powerful Jesus is. For he disappeared in front of everyone. This really shows me that since he is all powerful he can let anyone into heaven as long as we don’t sin against him and if we do go to confession and He will forgiver us.
we need to help others more and to put other abover are self. we need to be open to him so he can revel him self to us. we can’t worship God if we don’t have a personal connection with him.
“Jesus said to the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, “Oh how foolish you are! How slow of heart to believe all that the prophets spoke! Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?” This stood out to me because every one of us are those two disciples, unable to see who God is. Then when we are in church we finally understand who God is and that He loves all of us.
I think the scripture today is trying to tell us that we are blind without Jesus and we need him to help us see our fallt’s and our mistakes because without him we are weak.
“All knees will bend in the heavens, on Earth, and under the Earth to the name Jesus Christ”. This is telling me that no matter what, God is king in every situation. He is the solution to the problem. But, if we ask him something without knowing him, it will never happen. So we build a relationship with him and then ask.
Something that stuckw with me when I read this is that “Do you have the urge to help Gods peopls?”. The reason I think this stuck with me when I read this is because sometimes we see homeless people and we don’t give them money or food but sometimes some people when the see homeless people they give them food and sometimes money. Whenever I see a homeless person I wanna give them food or something but my mom usually just drives off so I cant give them anything I have the urge that I want to help people and pray for them so that they can have a good healthy nice life and a good relationship with God.
I think the phraseI, “am crippled in many ways, I think we all are in some way.” Is very important and I think we need to focus on the things we don’t see in ourselves, like if we’re mean to people but we don’t know it. Jesus helped lots of people in his time on Earth and he still is to this day, and through Jesus and prayer I think we can find out our faults.
“WITH THAT THEIR EYES WERE OPENED AND THEY RECOGNIZED HIM, BUT HE VANISHED FROM THEIR SIGHT.” LK 24:13-35.In today’s Gospel two of Jesus’es disciples are walking to a town called Emmaus. On their way they Met a man and had him have dinner with them he then broke the bread with a blessing and gave it to them they then recognized him but he vainished. I believe that God is telling us to always know that he is the all mighty and can do anything.
In today’s Gospel God opens our eyes to see the truth. Today the Lord has resurrected and has shown himself to us.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus comes to the Apostles and walks with them, without them realizing it is Jesus. While they walk, Jesus acts like He is going to walk on while the Apostles go have dinner, but they insist on having dinner with Jesus. They come into the house and Jesus breaks the bread and gives it to them. Then they realize it is Jesus, but right as they realize this, Jesus vanishes in their midst.
“Were not our hearts burning within us” I think that they were trying to sound like the Holy Spirit becuase once they got the Holy Spirit in them they could speak in all different languages. Jesus just wants us to know he will continue to help us no matter what.
Jesus is saving us. He wants us to be baptized. He wants us to go to heaven. He wants us to love him.
In the same way that Jesus reveals himself to the disciples in Emmaus in the Eucharist he reveals himself to us. He lives in us through the Eucharist. It is the greatest way to get to him. He is waiting for us to come to him. He has given us what we need to do that. If he wasn’t there to guide us we would be nobody going nowhere doing nothing, to live our lives just for them to end with infinite nothingness. Thank God this is not the case, he has given eternal life in heaven if we just choose to go out and get it.
In today’s scripture it talks about,as Christians we are called by God’s needs and to help others like Christ did himself,we are to take care of those who nobody else will even come close to.The things people never say to us but talk to others about because they don’t want to hurt our feelings. We all need Jesus Christ to heal us because there is not other thing or God that can.
Today Jesus showed some humility the apostles did not know it was his until he vanished. Our God is not a God that would want to show off or be out there. He wants us to share his love with others and maybe share some scripture but to not be like the person on the street shouting you shall repent.
“And it happened that, while he was with them at table,
he took bread, said the blessing,
broke it, and gave it to them.
With that their eyes were opened and they recognized him,
but he vanished from their sight.”
I think Jesus is trying to tell us that he rose from the dead and performed the breaking of the bread so they could see him. He rose from the dead, walked with some disciples, ate with them, performed the breaking of the bread, then vanished. This shows us how powerful Jesus is, how loving how cool he is. This is how we know that Jesus rose from the dead to show us how powerful He is. How powerful God is. How powerful the love of the Lord is.
It was telling me that Peter says to people “in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean, rise and walk.” and telling me that we are Crippled.
Jesus is testing them and is pretty good
In this Gospel Jesus is showing us the truth. he doesnt have to be the one who heals people his Apostles can too. God is everlasting
“The Lord has truly been raised and has appeared to Simon!” What this means to me is that Jesus prophsisied with what was going to happen. God tells only the truth so we need to believe in him because he wants a strong relationship with us so we can be one with him.
he took bread, said the blessing,
broke it, and gave it to them.
With that their eyes were opened and they recognized him,
but he vanished from their sight.
Why does it take something to prove that Jesus has come back from the dead? he told us/them that he was going to rise on the third day, and he did, yet they didn’t believe. Why? if you told you and you say you truly believe then why be confused when the things Jesus says come true!? Do you believe in Jesus’ words right away, or do you just ignore and hope it is not going to come true?
This scripture reflects on how we have to try for a relationship with Jesus.
He will always try for the relationship but we have to try to.
We need to focus on our relationship with Jesus for it is the most important relationship we will ever have,
we need to fully give our lives to God and praise him and learn that we have to try for a true relationship with God.
Today what stuck out to me was that Jesus was just waiting for them to notice that He was Christ! I feel like Jesus wants us to know Him, to trust Him , to feel him spiritually. God loves us so much, and He wants to break the bread with us.
This scripture reflects on how we have to try for a relationship with Jesus.
He will always try for the relationship but we have to try to.
We need to focus on our relationship with Jesus for it is the most important relationship we will ever have,
we need to fully give our lives to God and praise him and learn that we have to try for a true relationship with God.
Today’s Gospel talks about how Jesus appeared to two of his disciples. The disciples welcomed him into their home and shared a meal with him. They realized who Jesus was. I think that Jesus was trying to tell me to treat others the way Christ treated others, by helping when it is needed and doing things for the Parish.
In today’s Gospel Jesus walks with his disciples, and at first they don’t recognize him. Some times us humans could be like that, we don’t really see or recognize him, we need to put all our trust in God and know that God Is always with us.Then they said to each other,“Were not our hearts burning within us while he spoke to us on the way and opened the Scriptures to us?”
Today’s Gospel is saying that we have to allow Jesus to open our hearts and minds so that we can here Him, and know H eis there for us, and that we will never be alone!
In today’s gospel, the message I got was that we need to spread the word of God like how the apostles went out preaching and healing in Jesus’ name. In the reading today, Peter healed a crippled man like how Jesus healed the man who was brought on a stretcher by his friends. I think that this means that we need to show Christ in us through our actions, not just our words.
“When all the people saw him walking and praising God,
they recognized him as the one
who used to sit begging at the Beautiful Gate of the temple,
and they were filled with amazement and astonishment
at what had happened to him.”
At first if we ever saw God and people were praying to him, praising him we would’ve already known from the start that He is the one. And what happened to Jesus everyone was shocked because of what He did for everyone. If people were blind He would be able to make them see, if they were sick He would cure them. Anything, and everything He did for us and we have to believe that He did that. And we have to believe that He loves us more than anything in the world, even when we don’t want to believe it He’s right beside us everyday.
What this Gospel is telling me today is that Jesus is in everyone. That we could be talking to Jesus and not even notice it. Thats why we must always treat everyone with respect meaning that because we never know who is struggling in life or they are insecure about something. So that is why we should treat everyone like God.
This gospel passage reminds me that God gave us our gifts to share with others. The disciples used the gifts that God gave them to help others and lead them to the church instead of away. When we are selfish with our gifts we are s=not using them as God intended us to. Just like Mr. Goertz was saying we are all crippled and through God’s mercy and help we can overcome that and grow closer to Christ.
I think that today in the Gospel God is telling us that Jesus is always with us, in every person, even though we don’t see him. We should be kind and helpful to everyone, because when we help them, we help Jesus.
“Were not our hearts burning within us while he spoke to us on the way and opened the Scriptures to us?” This makes me think that like everyone else, we forget the best time or the good if something bad happens.
its telling me that if I ever feel like God isn’t with me or i’m not going to God because of something that sometime we will have to wait for ourselves to finally see that he is here but other times he will show up in our lives in some sort of way and when we finally see that he is here our hearts will be burning within us.
God is our savior he calls us by name and knows what we need. God reveals himself to us and wants us to follow him. God has saved us from our own sin because he loved us that much.
In the gospel, Jesus’ disciples did not recognize him as he was walking with them. Their eyes were only opened when Jesus broke the bread and said the blessing, a line after this that really stuck out to me was “The Lord has truly been raised and has appeared to Simon!” because they went out to the other disciples and proclaimed that Jesus was resurrected. The last line “how he was made known to them in the breaking of the bread.” is also important because the disciples didn’t know it was Jesus until he broke the bread and said the blessing, and this shows that the disciples see him in the breaking of bread.
Today’s Gospel is saying that we have to allow Jesus to open our hearts and minds so that we can here Him, and know He is there for us, and that we will never be alone!
In today’s gospel it shows how God loves us and has revealed himself to us, we need to believe in Him and love Him and be the best Catholics we can. He gave us the Mass and He died on the cross to save our sins. He also rose from the dead to heaven to give us eternal life.
Jesus Has risen from the dead. We should open our hearts up to Jesus as he endured all of that pain for us. If we open our hearts to Jesus he can save us and lead us to Heaven.
In today’s gospel we are the apostles and Jesus comes to us we do not recognize him he asked what. In the gospel, Jesus’ disciples did not recognize him as he was walking with them. Their eyes were only opened when Jesus broke the bread and said the blessing, a line after this that really stuck out to me was “The Lord has truly been raised and has appeared to Simon. We have to allow Jesus to open our hearts and minds so that we can here Him, and know He is there for us, and that we will never be alone.
I think what today’s gospel is trying to tell us is that we need to open our eyes to God now because it might be to late if we keep putting it off more and more until our time is up.
In rodays gosepel its talking about how he rose form the dead. He died for pout sins but rose once more to make us truly beleive that, that is him
In the Gospel it talks about how Jesus is with two of his disciples but they don’t recognize him right away. The Jesus breaks the bread and they start to recognize him. This kinda reminds me of how God reveals himself to us and that we might not notices him all the time but when he does something and how we reading the bible we notices that everything has God in it.
In today’s Gospel I think we should recognize what Jesus has done for us. I think that the apostles were happy to know that Jesus was alive after 3 days and that Jesus came back for us.
What stuck out to me was that they did start to truly believe in the end. Just like the people we need to believe and grow our relationship with him stronger.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus appears to the Apostles but they don’t recognize him. He talks to them and then they go back to the Apostles place because the day was almost over. Then Jesus had them recognize him. Their hearts were burning.
Today’s Gospel is telling us about how Jesus interacted with the apostles after he rose from the dead. The finally recognized him when he broke bread and said a blessing. Breaking bread and saying blessing is what happens during communion. We fully recognize God when we receive him in communion.
In today’s gospel, two apostles are walking along, and Jesus comes up to them. What stood out to me was the fact that Jesus told them that he would rise from the dead, but when he died they didn’t believe it. I think that this can be us. Just because something does not seem possible, doesn’t mean it can’t happen. We need to be constantly reminding ourselves that anything is possible with God.
God tells us that we should love one another as he has loved us. We should try to act like God in all aspects of our life. We should always choose kindness and when we don’t have the strength we should ask what would Jesus do.
Since we are all saved people of God we too have the power to heal others. If we pray for others God will use our prayers to help the person the way he intended it to. Even if we pray after the thing happens God knew you were going to do it so he can apply it before you even prayed it if that is His will.
In today’s Gospel Jesus criticizes the disciples walking with him. He wanted them to come back and believe him.
In today’s Gospel, 3 days after Jesus died on the cross, the Apostles were hiding in a village called, “Emmaus.” Then Jesus appeared to the Apostles, but they couldn’t see Him but Jesus could see the Apostles. Jesus is always everywhere we go so that He can help us with our lives. We don’t know that Jesus is there but He knows that He is there with us. Jesus does this so that He can help us with our lives. Jesus love us very much.
Today in the gospel, it talks about how as Christians we are called by God’s needs and to help others like Christ did himself, like helping the poor and the ill. He is telling us to imitate his example, so that we can spread his word and Christianity.
Jesus is trying to tell me that to always help people. Peter healed the crippled because he had compassion for them. We all have blind spots. We all need Jesus Christ to heal us because there is not other thing or God that can.
Things others recognize in us that we don’t see in ourselves. Things our pride and ego have pushed away for so long we totally miss them about ourselves. The first thing that comes to my mind is that someone might think you’re pretty or handsome but you might not think that you are. Our pride, our ego has done that to us. You might not even notice but others can.
We all need to recognize and accept that we are not whole without Jesus. We need to find the way to God to save us. That will make us completely whole. If we don’t do this, we won’t meet God, at least not immediately!
God today came to some disciples and talked to them however they did not recognize him for jesus had stooped them from doing so. this just goes to show how powerful our god is he loves us and that is a gift cause if he didn’t we probably wouldn’t exist right now. that is why we must follow him.
Today’s gospel is saying how Jesus died for our sins and is our savior, and how we are blind before we see him. Because he is the light.
We need to take care of others, make sure they are okay, and share with them. If they seem alone, go talk to them. God would wants us to always take care of others in need.
I think Jesus is trying to tell us to help our neighbors. Kinda goes with treating your neighbors how you want to be treated. Treat our neighbors with respect. Help one another. This will help us to become more holy.
“Do you believe the Eucharist is Jesus Christ? Think about it next time you go to Mass. Jesus says we must eat His flesh and drink His blood to have eternal life.” This all stuck out to me because its such an important question that we must ask ourselves. to receive the Eucharist we must believe it is the body of Jesus Christ and that he gave up his life on the cross and died for our sins.
This is one of my favorite stories in the bible simply because these two men just followed Jesus. We don’t even know both their names, just that they had faith. I love that because that’s the way that I want to live my life. I don’t care if nobody knows my name, I just want them to know about my faith and hopefully through that, they can find Jesus.
Jesus is truly present in the bread and wine at mass. Many people are to blind to see it, but its true. There is no greater love than to give one’s self up for the other. That’s what Jesus did.
he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them. With that their eyes were opened and they recognized him, but he vanished from their sight. This part of the Gospel stuck out to me because it shows how powerful Jesus is. Jesus after breaking the body his body and giving it to them he just vanished. Jesus is so powerful and we should all respect the things he dose for us.
the gospel is teaching us to help others like Peter helped the crippled man. We are called to resemble Christ and by doing that we can love our neighbors and help each other out when needed. God is always there for us and never leaves our side, so should we be there for those who are in need.
This Gospel talks about how Jesus died on the cross and everyone was hopeless. Until He rose from the dead and defeated death. The people who saw that Jesus was no longer in the grave told the disciples. The disciples did not believe them until they went to see it for themselves. This shows we need more faith in our life and don’t only believe in God because what He has or hasn’t done in your life, but believe in Him because of what He has already done by dying on the cross.
he was made known to them through the breaking of the bread. I still don’t get why he just disappears after they recognize him, he finally meets them but then poof he’s gone.
If you went to Holy Thursday mass, you might’ve seen the priest act like Jesus. The priest was showing what Jesus did on the day before He was to die. If we are Christians, we must be able to understand the power of resurrection and life. It’s the sole purpose of God. God saved us by sacrificing His Only Son because of how much He loved us. But we don’t realize it. We spend our day doing what we love, yet we don’t thank God for what we love. Take your time today and say “Thank You” for anything somebody has done. It’s the least you could do for somebody that has done something for you. And remember that God loves you.
“he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them. With that their eyes were opened and they recognized him” This part of the Gospel stuck out to me today because Jesus is always with us, but sometimes we can’t see Him. He reveals Himself to us through the Eucharist every Mass. He is always with us though. The way I interpret them not being able to see Him, is that they just see a stranger walking with them. I find this meaningful, because it shows that Jesus can act through or be in other people throughout our everyday lives.
Something that stuck out to me was ¨stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over.¨ This stuck out to me because I think it is Jesus telling us that he will always want us to stay with him no matter what is happening in our live at that moment. Sometimes we will have rough days and people will make us mad and not everything will go our way but that is when we need Jesus the most. Jesus will always be there with us even if we leave him and stop going to church and stop praying he will always want us to come back to him and he will not judge us for leaving him he will just be happy that we are coming back to him. Jesus will always want us to stay with him and when we do we will never feel lonely because Jesus makes our life full with his unconditional love for us.
Peter said in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean, rise and walk. which to me means that we are all crippled and God wants us to be uncrippled from sin so we can go into the Land of the Trinity. and it also means that we are all crippled in some ways and others.
Today in the Gospel Jesus is telling us many things. Two of Jesus’ disciples did not realize Jesus, who was right in front of them. This gives us the realization that we are not as strong in our faith as we think. We must be able to recognize him when we see him. If we want to spend eternity with him, we must be so strong in our faith that in any moment we may recognize him.
No matter the social class of a person, how much money they have, or their personal opinions, we should all still be loved and cared for. If you are poor, you’re rich at heart. The less amount of money you have the more you realize things for its genuine beauty and use. The less we have God in our lives, the less we realize things for its true beauty. All things in God are true and beautiful and vulnerable in every way you could possibly imagine it.
When the disciples heard Jesus’s words their hearts were set on fire because Jesus was kindling the love of the Father inside of them. This is what Jesus will do to everyone if they pray and listen for his voice because God is ever loving and forgiving .
i think God is telling us to help people like peter did with the crippled man. Not just helping with homework or something like that, but also helping our friends and the people around us get closer to God. We need to help spread the gospel and teach people about Christ.
“he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them.” This stuck out to me because this reminded me of Mass. Every time we are in the Church and hear these words we should remember that we are reenacting Jesus breaking the bread just as the priest does. We should treat the Eucharist as this and treat it as the body of Christ because it is. When we are in the church we should always remind ourselves that when we look up at the crucifix he did it for us, not for his own glory but for us.
“what do you believe in?” We can’t worship or build a relationship with someone we don’t know.
“Then they said to each other, “Were not our hearts burning [within us] while he spoke to us on the way and opened the scriptures to us?” I think this verse kind of shows how we can recognize Jesus sometimes but not really know it is Him. What I mean is sometimes we see the good going on around us but not recognize that it is God’s power and His help that is saving us. We have to really focus on people to see the good in them just like the disciples realized it was Jesus speaking to them.
“he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them.” This stuck out to me because this reminded me of Mass. Every time we are in the Church and hear these words we should remember that we are rein acting Jesus breaking the bread just as the priest does. We should treat the Eucharist as this and treat it as the body of Christ because it is. When we are in the church we should always remind ourselves that when we look up at the crucifix he did it for us, not for his own glory but for us.
“As Christians we are called to help others, the greatest in need.” This stuck out to me because we are supposed to follow Jesus path and help others. We can’t do all the things Jesus did but we can still help, like donate. We are called to help others and follow the path of Jesus and honor his image.
“When we recognize our brokenness and come to Jesus for healing we will be “walking and jumping and praising God.” This stuck out to me because in hard times we try to get over them by ourselves but really we need to turn towards God. I think most people think He is going to be angry or unwilling to help but He will always be there for us and He loves us so much.
I think this Gospel is telling me that God is not always recognized. We have to believe he’s there and have faith. We have to have trust and love for him.
“WITH THAT THEIR EYES WERE OPENED AND THEY RECOGNIZED HIM, BUT HE VANISHED FROM THEIR SIGHT.” LK 24:13-35. This stood out to me because today’s Gospel Jesus says that their eyes were then opened. They saw and recognized that it was Jesus Christ. And after they saw him Jesus then vanished from them. But not for long.
in today’s scriptures what stuck out to me was has followers
of Christ we need to treat people with love and love them as we love
ourselves and i also learned to not be so hard on ourselves
because Jesus always has are back.
In todays gospel Jesus meets two disciples walking to Emmaus.They did not recognize Jesus though.This stood out to me because its saying like sometimes we dont know that God is here with us and we need to open our eyes to see the goodness he has done in our life
We are like Simon and Cleopas. Sometimes we are blinded and choose to not care for Jesus. But once we see Him and really know and understand what He did for us, then we will continue to glorify him through our life.
The old crippled man was persistent. He went the the Temple every day asking for healing. This man could have given up and been left to die. But, If it wern’t for Peter and John going into the Temple that one day he would have never been healed. Wait and be persistent for God has a plan for you even when there seems no hope.
“The Lord has truly been raised and has appeared to Simon!” This shows that Jesus is our one and true savior. He took getting nailed onto a cross for sins he didn’t commit because he loved us so much. He did this all because he knew what would happen after he died on the cross. Jesus is our true savior and we should always respect him for it. We should always follow his word and his ways.
In today’s Scripture Jesus is telling me that He will always give signs to us. We must open out eyes and look into what he tells us. The disciples in the Gospel saw Jesus who they thought was dead. But, they didn’t realize until their eyes were opened. We must always be looking for signs from God. He can lead us in any direction. Jesus will show us when the time is right what it means. He will open our eyes to the truth that is held in Him and what he preached.
In today’s first reading, Peter helps the crippled man at the temple through the name of Jesus Christ. We must be christ-like and do stuff in the name of Jesus Christ so that we can do powerful and supernatural things. If we ask Jesus to help us, he will answer your prayer with patience and help you. If we do good acts to others, that great feeling of joy is sent back to us. Through Jesus, we can do all things because he gives us strength, confidence, and love.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells the two disciples about how he fulfilled the Scriptures and interpreted every part that referred to him. In today’s world, there is hate, misinformation, and bullying constantly. But we should focus on the good of the world, the beauty of the world given to us by God. We must be diligent to seek and find God and to be aware of the Second Coming. We must open our hearts to God so that he can remove the veil that Satan has put over us and make us see the spiritual world.
In the Gospel passage Jesus appears to two people and reveals himself to them and then disappears but he is still with them and in the reading Peter uses the power of Jesus (who is still with them) to heal a cripple.
When the 2 disciples were walking with the man they had no clue it was Jesus but after when the were having dinner and broke the bread they realized that it was him all along but he vanished and they went to the other disciples and said “The Lord has truly been raised and has appeared to Simon!” sometimes we don’t see God In our lives but we just have to know he is there with us when we are mean to someone we are being mean to God because God is in all of us.
I think he is trying to tell us we are blind without Christ we cant see anything without him sometimes we need to trust Jesus and love him because he will always lead us down the right path and that path is heaven even if the devil tries to take us off path we need to fight the temptation even though its hard we just need to trust Jesus and we need to make our own decisions and never give up on anything or God
“When all the people saw him walking and praising God, they recognized him as the one who used to sit begging at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with amazement and astonishment at what had happened to him.” If everyone all worshiped and praised God, more people would join the church and recognize he is the only one we should be worship and praising. But we also can’t worship or praise someone we have no relationship with, so we need to build one. And that takes effort.
In today’s Reading and Gospel talks about helping others and loving others. Jesus is our role model because he helped others including ourselves. Thank him for that amazing part of Jesus. Peter is very interested in helping others right after Jesus rose from the dead. Why? Because he knew what God was doing when he was dying on the cross right in front of his own eyes. He knew that when Jesus was dying on the cross that he was helping and saving many lives. Because that was his plan for us. We should start helping others and do it with a good mindset just like Jesus did because he never did anything dumb or do it in a bad mood. He did it with his whole love and heart. Even though the man was crippled Peter didn’t car because it does not matter what anyone looks like or acts like, You have to remember that everyone is a child of the living God and when you hurt them its like hurting Jesus. No matter what anyone looks like always be kind because you never know what someone is going through. When we help others and we get nothing out of it it makes us feel good about ourselves and not always you are going to get something in return. Helping others is called Stewardship which is an amazing act that we should start doing more often because it makes others truly happy but you also feel good about who you are being to someone. Have a Good Rest Of Your Day!! Jesus Loves you so much!!!! God Bless!!
All Christians are called to help each other, this stands out to me because it shows that we as Gods children are all family. Family, the family of God and He is all our father.
As Christians we are called to help others, the greatest in need. We are to take care of those who nobody else will even come close to”
a lot of people tend to make fun of others for disabilities, insecurities, or jealousy. or for them to feel good about themselves and that’s not right at all. bullying can lead to really bad things including switching schools and even worse things. as Christians we should NOT bully/talk about other people behind their back, or be leaving people out. just like Jesus said, “we are all brothers and sisters” and “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.”
“The things people never say to us but talk to others about because they don’t want to hurt our feelings”
this,if you are doing this you know you shouldn’t be doing it. if you know it will hurt the persons feeling then don’t talk about them, and talk about something else.
in today’s Gospel Peter heals a crippled man. that’s what we need to be doing to those who are feeling left out or are getting bullied. stand up for the hurting, stand up for the sorrowful.
“Jesus said to the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, “Oh how foolish you are! How slow of heart to believe all that the prophets spoke! Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?” This stood out to me because every one of us are those two disciples, unable to see who God is. Then when we are in church we finally understand who God is and that He loves all of us.
I think that the gospel is trying to tell us is that Jesus saved us without even asking. He knew his fate since he was born and he didn’t care. He did it for us because he wanted to, not because he knew he had to.
