Weekly Reflection

With That Their Eyes Were Opened

04-19-2026  |  We Celebrate Worship Resource, Vol. 51, No. 1

The Gospel tells us that the two disciples who encountered the risen Lord on the road to Emmaus did not recognize him for a long while. It was only after they sat down for a meal together and Jesus blessed and broke the bread and offered it to them that “their eyes were opened and they recognized him” (Luke 24:31). Only in retrospect did they realize that their hearts had been burning as he walked with them and taught the Scriptures to them. Sometimes we only realize Christ’s presence in retrospect, not while we are distracted due to grief, trauma, or just preoccupation. Note that if Cleopas and his companion had not invited the stranger to stay with them, they might never have realized who he was. Jesus seeks that invitation: an invitation to accompany us, to teach us, to break bread with us. We accept his invitation today—to come to this place of worship, to listen to God’s word, and to receive his Body in the Eucharistic meal. May we recognize him now and at unexpected times and welcome him, realizing that even in the flesh, the risen Lord may be overlooked.

When have you realized only later that Christ was walking with you?


Con Eso, Se Les Abrieron Los Ojos

El Evangelio nos relata que los dos discípulos que se encontraron con el Señor resucitado en el camino a Emaús no lo reconocieron durante un buen tiempo. Fue solo después de sentarse a compartir la cena, y de que Jesús bendijera, partiera el pan y se los ofreciera, cuando “entonces les fueron abiertos los ojos, y le reconocieron” (Lucas 24:31). Solo en retrospectiva se dieron cuenta de que sus corazones ardían mientras él caminaba con ellos y les explicaba las Escrituras. A veces, solo percibimos la presencia de Cristo en retrospectiva, y no en el momento mismo, debido a que estamos distraídos por el duelo, algún trauma o simplemente por nuestras preocupaciones. Cabe notar que, si Cleofás y su compañero no hubieran invitado al desconocido a quedarse con ellos, tal vez nunca habrían descubierto quién era. Jesús busca esa invitación: una invitación para acompañarnos, para enseñarnos y para partir el pan con nosotros. Hoy aceptamos su invitación: la de acudir a este lugar de culto, escuchar la Palabra de Dios y recibir su Cuerpo en el banquete eucarístico. Que sepamos reconocerlo ahora —y también en los momentos inesperados— y acogerlo, conscientes de que, incluso presente en carne y hueso, el Señor resucitado puede pasar desapercibido.

¿Cuándo te has dado cuenta, solo más tarde, de que Cristo caminaba contigo?
