You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence. — Acts 2:28

“Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked to us on the road, while He opened to us the scriptures?” (Luke 24:32)

How often do we take the time to discern what Jesus wants from us? Are our prayers always petitions, asking Jesus to do things for us? If so, that’s a one-sided relationship. Living our faith means developing a personal relationship with Jesus. Just like any friendship, there is give and take, each side listening to each other and helping each other out. Take time in silence to listen to what Jesus is asking of you. "¿No ardían nuestros corazones mientras nos hablaba en el camino, mientras nos explicaba las Escrituras?" (LUCAS 24:32)

¿Con qué frecuencia nos tomamos el tiempo para discernir lo que Jesús quiere de nosotros? ¿Nuestras oraciones son siempre peticiones, pidiéndole a Jesús que haga cosas por nosotros? Si es así, esa es una relación unilateral. Vivir nuestra fe significa desarrollar una relación personal con Jesús. Al igual que en cualquier amistad, hay que dar y recibir, cada lado escuchándo-se y ayudándose mutuamente. Tómese el tiempo en silencio para escuchar lo que Jesús le está pidiendo.

Our parishes are completely dependent upon our financial support. God will provide indubitably, but we need to do our part.

STAY WITH US, LORD Walk with us, Lord, along the road of resurrection! Explain for us, so slow to believe, the things that Scripture says of you. Break the bread of the Eucharist with us whenever we share our lives with our brothers and sisters. Stay with us each time night approaches and the daylight fades in our hearts! —From Come, Lord Jesus by Lucien Deiss, CSSp, copyright © 1976, 1981, Lucien Deiss.

GOD’S PLAN Saint Peter speaks to us twice today. In the first read-ing, we hear an excerpt from his sermon on Pentecost; in the second, part of his first letter. Once a frightened, unedu-cated fisherman who often said just the wrong thing, now Peter is speaking what he knows to be true. Everything Je-sus had said now makes sense. His death and rising were all part of God’s plan, and our faith and hope can be centered on God. Today’s Gospel tells the story of Jesus’ walk to Em-maus with two of the disciples. Frightened, sad, and con-fused, the two of them don’t recognize Jesus, who tells them what we heard Peter say above: All this had to happen as part of God’s plan. In the end, these disciples recognize Jesus as we are to recognize him—in the breaking of the bread. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

EL PLAN DE DIOS Hoy san Pedro nos habla dos veces. En la primera lec-tura, escuchamos un pasaje de su sermón en Pentecostés; en la segunda, parte de su primera carta. Antes, un aterroriza-do pescador con poca educación quien a menudo decía lo equivocado, el Pedro de ahora habla sobre la verdad que conoce. Todo lo que Jesús había dicho ahora tiene sentido. Su muerte y resurrección eran parte del plan de Dios, y nuestra fe y esperanza pueden centrarse en Dios. El Evangelio de hoy describe el relato del camino a Emaús en el que Jesús se une a dos discípulos. Atemoriza-dos, tristes y confundidos aquellos dos no reconocen a Jesús, quien les dice lo que escuchamos a Pedro decir arri-ba: todo esto tuvo que suceder como parte del plan de Dios. Al final, estos discípulos reconocen a Jesús así como noso-tros debemos reconocerle –al partir el pan. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
