Fr. Cajetan Cuddy, O.P. reflects on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24 and the disciples’ failure to recognize the risen Christ. Though they discuss the events of Jesus’ Passion and search for meaning, they do not recognize Him walking beside them.
The Gospel reveals a deeper problem: not simply misunderstanding Scripture, but beginning from the wrong starting point. When we try to interpret life, suffering, or even Christ Himself apart from Him, we risk missing Him entirely.
True wisdom begins with Jesus. When we start with Him, He illumines all things and reveals their meaning in Himself.
