Synopsis: Easter III [A]  Ferragamo Lace Up Sale Homily on Luke 24:13-35 (L-17)

Introduction: Our Scripture lessons for today have one common, encouraging theme: No matter what happens in our lives, the risen Jesus is always with us.  God is always near to those who seek Him and who want to live in His presence, doing His will.  Scripture lessons: The first reading, from Acts, is taken from the beginning of Peter’s first public proclamation about Jesus and how God raised Jesus from death, thus fulfilling the Messianic prophecies about the promised descendant of David.  In the second reading, Peter exhorts the early Christians to place their Faith and Hope in God Who has saved them through the precious Blood of His Son and Who has raised Jesus from the dead.  The Ferragamo Shoes Sale Online Emmaus Ferragamo Mens Sandals Sale incident described in today’s Gospel is the story of a God who will not leave us alone when we are hurt and disappointed. The message of today’s Scripture readings is that the Ferragamo Shoes Sale Online followers of Jesus are to maintain contact with their Risen Lord through the Eucharist and the Bible. The readings also remind us that our belief in Jesus’ presence in the consecrated Bread and Wine Ferragamo Shoes Sale Online should help us to understand better his presence in the Bible and in the believing and Salvatore Ferragamo Wedges Shoes Sale worshipping community.  Putting the two appearances (to the Emmaus disciples and to Peter), together, it is clear that the risen Jesus wanted Peter to act as spokesman for him and that the faithful who seek to follow Jesus should seek his company in the Eucharist and in the Bible under the direction of Peter and his successors.
