On our Emmaus 90 journey, like the disciples on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24, we’re learning to recognize Jesus walking with us, interpreting the Scriptures, and in the breaking of the bread. This year, we’re focusing on growing as disciples who strive to be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and do what Jesus does. Our formation sessions help us to grow in the heart and habits of a disciple, which are summarized in the Anatomy of a Catholic Disciple Picture on p. 13 of your Guidebook. 

And we’re starting with the Heart - how do we grow in heart-to-heart relationship with Jesus and invite him to be at the heart, or the center, of our lives.

Bishop Donald Hying helps us journey into deeper Heart to Heart Relationship with Jesus by reflecting on the Good News Jesus proclaimed and sent his first disciples to share - that is - the gospel, or in Greek, the Kerygma. 

Bishop Hying is from the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, currently serving as the Bishop of the Diocese of Madison.

Archbishop Jeffrey Grob, on his 100th day as Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, joins us to help us to reflect on the question, "Where do we go from here?"

As we come to the end of our Emmaus 90 journey, we reflect on the following questions:

1. How has God blessed you through this Emmaus 90 journey?
2. What is your plan to continue your daily prayer after your Emmaus 90 Guidebook ends?
3. With whom will you share your witness and joyful invitation to faith this Easter season?
4. If you were to pray with the story of the disciples on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24, and put yourself in that story in the place of Jesus, who would you walk alongside and accompany and share the Scriptures with? How would you step in as Jesus in this story? How would you break open the Scriptures with them and stay with them in the walk of faith? How can you walk with one?
