HOMILY FOR WEDNESDAY OF EASTER OCTAVE — YEAR A

HOMILY THEME: RECOGNISING THE RISEN LORD

BY: Fr. Isaac Awe

Acts 3:1-10, Psalm 105, Luke 24:13-35

We have been taught that the three major essences of our creation are : to know, love and serve the lord. Having claimed to have known , loved and served Him why was it difficult for the disciples to recognize the risen Lord? Why is it hard for us Christians to recognise God in our moment of trials?

Jesus’ death scattered his disciples and shattered their hopes and dreams. They had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. They saw the cross as defeat and could not comprehend the empty tomb until the Lord appeared to them and gave them understanding. Jesus chided the disciples on the road to Emmaus for their slowness of heart to believe what the scriptures had said concerning the Messiah. They did not recognize the risen Jesus until he had broken bread with them. Do we recognize the Lord in his word and in the breaking of the bread?

PRAYER: Lord Jesus Christ, open the eyes of our hearts to recognize your presence with us and to understand the truth of your saving word. Nourish us with your life-giving word and with the bread of life. Amen.
