“They said to each other: ‘Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the scriptures?’ And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem: and they found the eleven gathered together and those who were with them, who said, ‘The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!’ Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread” (Lk 24:32-35). From listening to the Word, we pass to the joy of an encounter that fills the heart, gives meaning to life and injects new energy. Faces light up and the journey gains new energy: the light and strength of the vocational response becomes mission towards the community and the whole world. Without delay and without fear, the disciples retrace their steps to join their brethren and to testify to their encounter with the risen Jesus. A young Church
