They said to each other, ‘Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?’

In Luke 24:13-35, two of Jesus’ followers are trying to get their heads around the fact that their own leaders have had Jesus crucified, as well as Mary’s incredible claim that he is now alive again. While walking along the road to Emmaus and discussing all these things, Jesus joins them. Find your favourite spot for prayer, grab your journal, and sit deeply with the yourself and the Lord for 20 minutes.

Contemplative at Home offers a guided prayer experience drawing on Ignatian spirituality and Lectio Divina.

Mark Luke 24:13-35 is read from the NRSV
