What am I discussing these days?

Gospel Thoughts*

*EASTER OCTAE*

*Wednesday*

*GOSPEL -  Lk 24:13-35*

*FIRST READING - Acts 3:1-10*

*What am I discussing these days?*

*1) "What are you discussing as you walk along?”*

The above question is found in today's Gospel. 

I think it is very important to pay attention to this particular question and to reflect about the things that we are discussing these days. 

This reflection will help us to know about what we are concerned about and  to know the things, which we need to pay attention. 

*2) Two disciples of Jesus*

These two disciples of Jesus were on the way to Emmaus. 

On their way to Emmaus, they were busy discussing about the passion, death and the resurrection. 

This was the central point of their discussion. 

*3) What Jesus was talking about?*

The Gospel says that Jesus appeared to His disciples, on the Way to Emmaus. 

As Jesus began His dialogue, He started to explain to them How this plan of God, scarifying His son on the Cross. 

So the main point of discussion was the passion, death and resurrection. 

*4) The Disciples of Jesus*

Once these two disciples went and communicated the great news of resurrection, the disciples began to think about the passion, death and resurrection. 

So they waited until Jesus met them in diffent places and in different times, and them started to proclaim the same 

*5) Early Christian community*

The early Christian community was busy in discussing, about Jesus passion, death and resurrection. 

Wherever they went, they took the crucified Christ and started to proclaim and reflect about the great mystery of Christ. 

*6) What am I talking about, today?* 

We saw different people who were discussing at diffent times and diffent places 

But the the Subject Matter of their discussion, was the mystery of Christ 

What am I talking about today? 

My achievements

My Glory

My pride, my views 

My plans, my life and health 

My problems, tensions and worries 

*7) Easter is a best time for discussion*

The name Easter clearly indicates that we are suppose to discuss about the Passion, death and resurrection

We are Easter People, and Alleluia is our song. So we need think, reflect and discuss about Jesus 

*So what is the Subject Matter of my Discussion these days?*

*Think about it*

*God bless you and your family. Praying for you and your dear ones*
