Friends:
Readings: ACTS 3:11-26----Luke 24: 36-49
The readings for today includes the continuation of Peter's speech to the assembled Jews recapitulating the trial and total abandonment of the target of salvation, themselves. God had sent His Son first, to the lost sheep of Israel. However, they refuse the gift and, instead, offered Jesus as the scapegoat of theri sinfulness.
Each time we deny our formed consciences and complete an act of temptation, we join ther unsaved. We would then be remanded to the danger of eternal damnation, if it were not for God's mercy and love,
The disciples from Emmaus recounted their experience to the best of theri ability. However, it paled when Jesus Himself appeared and set them all afright. Jesus consoled themby His human actions of touch and nourishment. When they regained their composure, He enlightened of the meaning of Scripture passages foretelling His suffering, death and resurrection.
Each Eucharist celebration re-presents these experiences of Jesus assuring us of our salvation through the forgiveness of our sin.
