Catholic Life and Reflection
At Staff Mass this week Father Chung asked me to read the Gospel. I felt very honored. Over the past year I have read this gospel many times. As I read it I was quite emotional. Not sad, just overcome.
Words of such power and grace…”were our hearts not burning within us” and “had been made known to them in the breaking of the bread.” (Luke 24 13:45)
The breaking is the part that gets me. In our brokenness we come to be healed by Christ. In his brokenness on the cross, He saved us. In the liturgy the breaking of the bread is a reminder of this profound and simple truth.
As the year starts to speed up and weather warms, go gently.
