There are times in our lives of faith that we find ourselves sad. We feel like our spirits have faded and that our prayers are falling rather than rising from our lips. We continue on in our belief, but the joy in us has been diminished in some way. When this occurs we have lost sight of the fact that God is there with us, and that Jesus is abiding in us… we are saddened, perhaps disappointed, or mourning, even though we are standing in the very presence of God. Oh how incredulous we are, even while we are walking towards Emmaus with Jesus. In this glorious moment we are not seeing, or realizing, that He is speaking to us. This occurred on the road to Emmaus, and it happens to us today.
