III Domenica di Pasqua A - Le nostre delusioni e lo stile di Gesù

The story of the two disciples of Emmaus moves us, touches us, challenges us. Because ultimately, it concerns us. We too are on the road of life, and along the way, we sometimes grapple with bitterness and defeat due to our disappointments. However, these disappointments often arise from our exaggerated expectations of ourselves, of others, of the world, and of God. Jesus stands beside us, walks with us without frightening or reproaching us, but rather bringing our sadness and disappointments to the surface so that, in the light of His Word, we can see them in a different light. And He breaks again for us, to tell us that we are not alone on the journey. Then the blindfold falls away from our eyes and, finally, we recognize Him. And everything, even our losses and defeats, we can look at in a new light.
