The Emmaus story in today's Gospel gives us a picture of our own journey: bolstered by great events or wonderful people, then followed by wondering and questioning. The trumpets and tympani of the Easter Vigil can fast disappear in the drab monotony of work or routine. Even a gray day can pull us down. As the disciples felt their hearts burning within them as they walked with Jesus, listened to him and recognized him in the "breaking of the bread", they gave us the formula for keeping our hearts burnng: prayerful listening to Jesus and participation in the Eucharist. May we avail ourselves of these means as much as we can.
