Jesus said to them, "What are you discussing with each other while you walk along?" They stood still, looking sad. Then one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered him, "Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who does not know the things that have taken place there in these days?" (Lk 24:17-18).

Imagine ourselves discussing the situation of the present crisis and Jesus coming and asking us what we are discussing. What will be our reply? Will not be our reply exactly the same as that of Cleopas?

The two disciples on the way to Emmaus were totally dejected. Hope is the last thing to die. But when hope dies, life becomes meaningless. These disciples had lost hope.

In the story of Emmaus, we can find the much needed hope and consolation. Emmaus academy teaches us to recount our story of hope and distress to Jesus, and to discover hope in the scripture, which states: "It is necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and then enter into his glory." Often suffering is a divine necessity, which purifies us and makes us better human beings.

Good day and God bless us all! 🙏🏼☦️
