On our own we cannot grasp the mystery of the resurrection. The two disciples on the road to Emmaus were “conversing and debating”; they could recount the facts but could not believe the mystery. Yet, they greatly desired to move from disappointment and unbelief to hearts burning with life and belief – they invited Jesus to stay the night with them. Our own participation in Word and sacrament must give rise to the same desire in us: to seek life by journeying deeper into the mystery.
