First, notice how the disciples tell this traveler (Jesus) about all that had happened in Jerusalem and then Jesus’ response to them. He says: “‘Oh, how foolish you are! How slow of heart to believe all that the prophets spoke! Was it not nec- Monday, April 27 essary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?’ Then beginning Adoration, with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them what referred to him in all the Confession Scriptures.” & Benediction (SM) 5:30 - 6:30 p.m. Isn’t this exactly what happens at Mass? In the first part of Mass, the Liturgy of the Word, we hear the readings from Scripture. These readings usually come from the Law or the Prophets, then a Psalm (Old Testament), then a New Testament reading and a passage from the Gospel. One purpose of the homily or sermon is precisely to show how Wed, April 29 all these readings relate to Jesus, who He is and what He means for us. Adoration, Confession Second, when they arrive at Emmaus, we can see how Jesus’ identity is revealed. & Benediction “So he went in to stay with them. And it happened that, while he was with them at table, 5:30 - 6:30 p.m. he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them. With that their eyes were St. Katharine Drexel opened and they recognized him, but he vanished from their sight.” Why did He vanish? at St. Patrick’s, He vanished because He is the Bread. In this short passage we have a basic outline of the Macedon Mass: the Scriptures are read, they are explained, and – just as we see Jesus doing at the Last Supper and in our Gospel today – the priest takes the bread, blesses it, breaks it, and gives it to the people since it is truly Christ’s own Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. At each Mass, Jesus comes to us, personally, to offer Himself at the hands of the priest, as our food for the journey. “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over.” In Christ, Father Amato April 26, 2020 St. Maximilian Kolbe Parish page two Pastor: PARISH INFORMATION Mary Ann Hallman, Gerard Fr.
