Today’s Easter story is specifically directed at us–those who would come to believe in Jesus down through the ages. We are part of a community of faith–a living legacy passed on from generation to generation, and often given at great cost, with personal sacrifice.
The Emmaus narrative is replicated in the life of believers. Jesus walks with us and allows us to tell him our story. Do our hearts burn within us as we walk with Jesus?

Saint Gianna Beretta Molla was a wife, mother, and pediatrician. During her last pregnancy Saint Gianna was found to have a noncancerous uterine fibroid. While she allowed the doctors to remove the tumor, she made sure that her pregnancy was protected. Saint Gianna Molla died of complications shortly after her daughter’s birth.
The life of every believer involves looking for Jesus. Deep in our hearts we know that we can never be happy, never fulfilled unless we are with him.
