The Road to Emmaus

This is a day to celebrate love, and why not look to the source of Love to live this day to the fullest? Pope Benedict once wrote that "eros is part of God's very Heart: the Almighty awaits the "yes" of his creatures as a young bridegroom that of his bride. Unfortunately, from its very origins, mankind, seduced by the lies of the Evil One, rejected God's love in the illusion of a self-sufficiency that is impossible. Turning in on himself, Adam withdrew from that source of life who is God himself, and became the first of "those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong bondage" (Heb 2: 15). God, however, did not give up."



What a comfort! What a gift! That God has such a desire to be so close to us. What a truth to celebrate on this day of Love! Our hearts should burn within us like the disciples on the way to Emmaus.
