The Collect
O GOD, whose blessed Son did manifest himself to his disciples in the breaking of bread; Open, we pray thee, the eyes of our faith, that we may behold thee in all thy works, through the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Alleluia! Christ is Risen!
The reading from the Gospel of Luke today describes an encounter on the road and a supper that follows. It states that while a disciple named Cleopas was walking towards Emmaus with another disciple, they met Jesus. They did not recognize him, and discussed their sadness at recent events with him. They persuaded him to come and eat with them, and in the course of the meal they recognized him.
Readings: Acts x. 34; Saint Luke xxiv. 13.
He is risen indeed! Alleluia!
