The Two Disciples of Emmaus

The Two Disciples of Emmaus

The Savior says: “Where two or more are united in my name, there I am”.

The Spirit of Light invites all the Spirits – from the Infinite Creation – to seek the truth by listening, in silence, in dialogue, in challenge and mutual respect.

When two human beings walk together, meditating and talking about Jesus, in Unity of Spirit, Jesus the Truth shows himself. He also makes himself present with the Fire of Love in the heart. It is by walking that we grow, it is in seeking that we find; it is in knowledge that we love in Liberty.

Thanks Spirit of Light and Love. Today the two Emmaus disciples have come back at the beginning of the Third Millennium and they are walking with, and talking to, Jesus, in his Second Coming in Spirit and Truth.

The two disciples of Emmaus who are walking together on the way to Emmaus talk about Jesus the Savior who, in Jerusalem, has been betrayed, flogged, sentenced to death and crucified by the high priests and magistrates.

They relate how some women had gone to the tomb but did not find the body of Jesus and witnessed a vision of angels who announced that Jesus had come back from the dead. As they are talking about these events, Jesus himself gets near, and begins to talk with them. But the two disciples do not recognize him. Jesus tells them: “You fool hearted and slow to understand all the things that the prophets have predicted. Was it not written that Christ had to suffer all these things and only thus enter into His glory?”

Once they get to Jerusalem, the two disciples tell Jesus: “Stay with us as it is getting late and the day is almost over.” Jesus remains with them and, when they are at the table, the Savior takes the bread, blesses it, breaks it and offers it to the two disciples.

At that very moment the eyes of the two disciples open up and they recognize that their Guest is Jesus, who at that very moment disappears from their sight. At that moment they ask one another: “Wasn’t our heart burning inside us, as on the way, he was talking and explaining the Scriptures to us?” Immediately the two disciples got up and returned to Jerusalem, where the eleven are congregated and the others with them and they announce that Jesus has truly risen and how they recognized him in “the breaking of the bread”.

The heart asks: “Whom do the two disciples of Emmaus represent and what does the village of Emmaus represent?”
