As faithful Catholics, how deeply do we understand the risen Lord, given our years of devotion? In today's Gospel, we are reminded of the disciples' initial inability to recognize the Lord, only to later come to know and believe in Him through the breaking of the bread. This sacred act, a mystery we encounter in the Mass, should prompt us to reflect on whether it has indeed strengthened our connection with the Lord, as it is intended to do. Similarly, when some disciples doubted and questioned whether they were seeing a spirit rather than the glorified body of the Lord, their disbelief was dispelled when He shared a meal with them. This echoes the experience of the two disciples who first encountered the risen Lord. From this, we learn that the most profound way to know, believe in, and dispel doubts about the risen Lord is through the Mass, where we are given all we need to understand Him. The Mass stands as the source and summit of our spiritual lives as Catholics. Therefore, let us make a conscious effort to actively participate in Mass, so that we may deepen our knowledge and connection with the Lord.
