Jesus himself drew near and walked with them

“That very day, the first day of the week, two of Jesus’ disciples were going to a village seven miles from Jerusalem called Emmaus, and they were conversing about all the things that had occurred. And it happened that while they were conversing and debating, Jesus himself drew near and walked with them, but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him.” (LK 24: 13-16)

It happens, from to time in our lives, that we feel abandoned, misunderstood, or alone. We should remember that Our Lord is always close to us, and whenever we are in need, He does for us what He did for the two disciples: “Jesus himself drew near and walked with them.” The problem could be just with our eyes: “their eyes were prevented from recognizing him”; the problem is never with Him.  

“This is the day the LORD has made; let us be glad and rejoice in it.” (Gospel Acclamaiton)
