HOMILY FOR EASTER WEDNESDAY.

THEME: BREAKING BREAD.

BY: FR. GERALD MUSA

Every day we are inundated by so many news headlines, and most often we are unable to make meaning out of the series of events that happen daily. After the resurrection, Jesus met two disciples travelling from Jerusalem to Emmaus. These disciples were so much in a state of shock and confusion that they could not recognize him. Jesus asked, “What is this you are talking about?”
Cleopas, one of the travellers started breaking news to this ignorant stranger about how Jesus of Nazareth was sentenced to death and crucified. Cleopas added the latest news, which is about the claim of some women that Jesus had comne back to life. Cleopas recounted all the events that took place but could not comprehend the meaning of this string of events.

Thereafter, Jesus took bread, blessed it, broke it, and shared it among the disciples. After breaking and sharing the bread they recognized Jesus. The breaking of bread opened their eyes of faith. The encounter with Jesus was so delightful that it transformed their despair into hope and happiness. Have we ever been radically transformed through any encounter with Jesus?
