Today, the resurrected Son of God rescues from sadness his disheartened disciples. How does He do it? He walks with them and… stays with them. He listens to them and speaks to them. He shares the Bread and explains the Word: Eucharist and Scripture. The Emmaus disciples throb when they realize that, what prophets announced regarding the Messiah, is fulfilled in Jesus of Nazareth: along with His death and His resurrection.

God desired to communicate with men. The Bible is this divine revelation in writing, after centuries of oral transmission. The coming of the Messiah was announced and prepared for centuries throughout the Old Testament. The New Testament narrates Jesus’ life and that of the primitive Christian community. It reflects the messianic prophecies fulfilled by Jesus Christ.

—Holy Spirit, I confess You are who inspires the Scriptures. Open my intelligence, Spirit Divine, so that I can understand the Sacred Scriptures. Thus, on the path of my life, I will always go forward with my Saviour.
