Living the Gospel: “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening” (Lk 24:29)

Living the Gospel: “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening” (Lk 24:29)

How can we recognize the presence of Jesus when faced with darkness, injustices and inequalities? When hardship and suffering seem to obscure all hope? The road to Emmaus becomes a symbol of each person’s journey of faith, of our deep desire to rediscover Christ in everyday choices; an encounter that leads to joy and shared testimony. It is the moving invitation that we can all extend to him so that, once he is found, he remains with us and among us.

Evangelho vivido: “Fica conosco, pois já é tarde” (Lc 24,29)

Como podemos perceber a presença de Jesus quando a noite, as injustiças e as desigualdades aparecem? Quando as dificuldades e os sofrimentos parecem ofuscar a esperança? O caminho de Emaús se torna símbolo do caminho de fé de cada um, do nosso desejo profundo de reencontrar Cristo nas escolhas de cada dia; um encontro que leva à alegria e ao testemunho compartilhado. É o convite comovente que podemos todos fazer para que, quando encontrado, permaneça conosco e entre nós.
