Back on the Right Path

In today's Gospel two disciples lose hope in Jesus and leave Jerusalem and walk in the opposite direction. They go astray. Can we relate to these disciples? Disillusioned, disappointed, we too can feel like Jesus has let us down, that he is not the one we thought he was. Losing our hope in him, we too can walk the wrong path and go astray. In today's Gospel we see how Jesus comes to walk with those who are walking away from him, and how he leads them, through the Scriptures and the breaking of the bread to an encounter with Him. The encounter with Jesus moves the disciples to turn around and walk in the right direction again.
