Emmaus comes to us, when least expected.
We are going through a hiatus not of our chosing. But because this time has broken forth into our lives, it has caused us to stop the noise, the distraction, the compulsion to perform, the fear of rejection, that makes up so much of our lives.
It means we can make space to savour the power of the present moment.
When we do, we discover that every encounter – virtual or otherwise- , every conversation, every communication becomes an opportunity……
to be inclusive not exclusive, to show mercy not judgement, to encourage not criticize, to give not receive, to heal nor hurt, to reconcile not separate, to restore not condemn, and to pray not despair.
The choice of how we use these present moments is entirely in our hands.
