GOOD NEWSActs z::.4, zz-33 | t Peter r:r7-zr / Luke z4:r3-35

The story of the road to Emmaus is a favorite among retreat leaders because

they can pair off participants to talk about hopes, fears, and dreams while

they take a long walk or find a safe place to sit.

l've heard people tell dark secrets and expose long-hidden resentments on

such walks. lt seems the act of walking loosens the tongue and allows us to

look at scenery while we bring forth the courage to tell what is happening in

our lives.

So it doesn't surprise me at allthat Jesus makes his first post-resurrection

appearance in Luke to two people who are walking and talking. Believing

him to be a stranger, the disciples are free to tell everything about their fear,

their anger, their dashed hopes, and their confusion over the empty tomb.

They are able to be themselves, and Jesus does what they need him to do-he listens and hears them.Then something remarkable happens. He opens their minds and hearts to

the revelation of God in Scripture. He gives them a new way of seeing' They

are eager to know more. They beg him to stay and share a meal. And, finally,

they know him in the breaking of the bread and the breaking open of their

hearLs.

Maybe there's a lesson here for us. When we're weary or worried, perhaps

we can take a walk on our imaginary road and tell Jesus everything that has

happened, let him love us, and let him help us remember the Scriptures.

And, hearts lightened, we can know him again in the breaking of the bread.

d e ar PAD Rf,

4-\ My daughter is W0,AA0 in debt. On her la* payday, afriend\ol asked to bonow $500for hk h'ouse payment. A[y daugltter lent

him the mofiey because she heard a reading at Mass that f you

haue money and yourfriend needs it, you should lend it. Is that

what Jaus would haue my daugltter do in her current

situatian?

If your daughter had $600 she didn't need immediately

and was quite sure her friend would pay it back in a timely

fashion, then yes, it was good for your daughter to have lent

the money in that situation- It's a sign of your daughter's

generosiry and kindness.But there are a lot of "ifs" in the above scenario. If

someone had lent that money to your daughter and, because

she then lent it to her friend, the lender was denied /ler

pa)rynent in a timely fashion, your daughter shouldn't have

lent the money.Putting this idea in simpler terms, if I have trrvo chickens

and I need only one for supper, I can give a hungry person

the extra chicken. But I needn't glve away a1l that I have to

Ged the hungry, thus becoming hungry mysell If I have

only one chicken, I don't have to give it away.'We're called to be generous, but not at the expense of our

orrun well-being. Lending money is a different issue because

it seems everyone owes money. If your daughter is paying

her debts in a timely fashion, she's not obligated to pay

more, and she can continue to be generous.
