They returned to Jerusalem where they found gathered together the eleven and those with them who were saying, “The Lord has truly been raised and has appeared to Simon!” Then the two recounted what had taken place on the way and how he was made know to them in the breaking of the bread. Luke 24:33-35

“Jesus himself drew near and walked with them, but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him.” Can you imagine this scene? Jesus comes up next to these two disciples, walks with them, talks with them, even goes so far as to explain the Scriptures about him to them, and they still fail to notice who he is. Understandably, they were sad, “looking downcast” because of Christ’s death. Maybe their eyes glumly watched their feet as they trod along in-stead of taking in the sights around them. But at some point they must have looked at their companion’s face. Why didn’t they recog-nize Jesus until “he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them”? In everything else during their encounter, Jesus had appeared to be just another man. But when he broke the bread, in fact cele-brating the Eucharist, they realized who he was. And then, he “vanished from their sight.” Could it be that the risen Lord wanted to teach his followers about the new way in which he was present? He may have vanished from sight, but he did not leave them. He was there, as we Catholics profess, through his real presence in the Eucharist. We are not so different from the disciples on the road to Emmaus. We may at times become downcast, wishing that Jesus was with us in a more obvious, traditional way. But in fact, the risen Lord comes to join us every time we go to Mass, remaining with us through his presence in the Eucharist. We only need the eyes of faith to believe that it’s true. This is not the same as physical sight, to be sure. But he is there. As Jesus himself said in last Sunday’s Gospel, “Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed” (John 20:29).

In an effort to reach out to our brothers and sisters who speak Spanish and are not able to attend Sunday Mass at their parish due to illness, age, or other issues, the Archdiocese offers the transmis-sion of the Sunday Mass in Spanish. This is an archdiocesan minis-try offered in collaboration with the Office of Hispanic Ministry and the Office of Worship and Christian Initiation. The Spanish TV Mass airs every Sunday at 6:30 am on Channel 13 and 5:00 p.m. on Univision Channel 14.

“To all the members of the Church, the people of life, I make this most urgent appeal, that together we may offer this world of ours new signs of hope, and work to ensure that justice and solidarity will increase and that a new culture of human life will be affirmed, for the building of an authentic civilization of truth and love.” Pope St. John Paul II, Evangelium Vitae, 6 A todos los miembros de la Iglesia, pueblo de la vida y para la vida, “dirijo mi mas apremiante invitacion para que, juntos, podamos ofrecer a este mundo nuestro nuevos signos de esperanza, traba-jando para que aumenten la justicia y la solidaridad y se affiance una nueva cultura de la vida humana, para la edificacion de una autentica civilizacion de la verdad y del amor”. San Juan Pablo II, Evangelium vitae, 6
