On this third Sunday of Easter, we continue to appreciate God’s love for us. Today, the Church invites us to be joyful. This is because, Christ has not only ransomed us with his precious blood. Also, he continues to be with us through the scriptures (liturgy of the word), and in the breaking of bread(liturgy of the Eucharist), the core of the Holy Mass. These are very important aspects of our Christian life. It is important to note the sequence of activities on this journey to Emmaus. First, Christ illuminated the minds of his disciples with scriptures. Second, Christ celebrated the liturgy of his own body and blood, the Eucharist with them. It is after these two important celebrations, that these disciples recognized Christ their master. Christ has ransomed and given us new life through his paschal mystery. Yet, in order to sustain and nourish this new life, He left us himself in these two important liturgies of the Holy Mass (word and Eucharist). Hence, the “Liturgy is Life!” This means that, if we forget these liturgies celebrated by Christ himself, we forget our new life in him. Christ did this today to remind us that each time we celebrate these liturgies worthily, He opens our eyes, in order to recognize his divine presence with us. Therefore at Mass, we recognize Christ every day, and renew our life in Him. This is because Christ at Mass offers himself again, as a precious ransom for the renewal of our own life. Therefore, let us ask the Christ to always open the eyes of our minds, so that we may recognize Him during every Eucharistic Celebration.
