Parish Newsletter 29th / 30th April
3rd Sunday of Easter
"Jesus himself drew near and walked with them,
but their eyes were prevented from recognizing
him." The disciples on the road to Emmaus had
already heard re-ports about Jesus' resurrection.
It was at the forefront of their minds, but in spite
of this, they did not recognize Jesus when he
stood right before them.
Why not? Perhaps because they weren't looking
for him. Maybe they didn't really believe that he
was alive. Or it could be that his appearance was
not the same as it had been before. Whatever the
case, it's very interesting to learn that it was actu-
ally while celebrating the Eucharist that these
men finally realized who was right there with
them! "He was made known to them in the break-
ing of bread."
Living as we do some two thousand years later, it
is easy to imagine that recognizing Jesus was a
snap for those who walked the earth when he
did. We can run the risk of feeling sorry for our-
selves that we don't get to see Jesus in person
they way they did. But look here! It was through
the Eucharist that Christ was made known to
them, and we too have that gift right in front of us.
We celebrate every week the same "breaking of
bread" at the altar during Mass. Jesus is present
with us, body, blood, soul, and divinity, even if we
don't recognize him! He is there, present in our
midst.
If our eyes of faith are feeble, we can pray that
the Lord will help us to know his presence in the
Eucharist. Just as he came to comfort and ac-
company his first disciples, he wants to do the
same for us through the Most Blessed Sacra-
ment. We only need to be sure that we are
always on the lookout to find him in our midst.
AN CHÉAD CHOMAOINEACH Children from Gaelscoil na gCloch Liath will cele-brate their First Holy Communion at the 11:00 am

GREYSTONES ACTIVE RETIREMENT ASSOCIATION
It is with deep regret that we learnt of the sudden death of Mrs. Beatrice Gunning R.I.P., one of the founder

pivotal role in ensuring that the association thrived and always maintained an interest in all activities. She will be
fondly remembered by all GARA members on whose behalf we would like to sympathise with her family and
many close friends. May she rest in peace and be rewarded now for all her good works here on earth.
