Jesus recalls how a little yeast can transform dough – making it grow larger into something new. In our spiritual lives this process can work for both good or evil, and we are invited today to embrace God’s grace into our hearts, changing us into daughters and sons of God.
Jesus tells the disciples of John the Baptist to report what they see and hear – wonders that show that Jesus is Lord. May we carry the same message into our lives today!
Christ’s words to the disciples of John the Baptist proclaim Good News. The Lord’s work – filled with power and might – brings hope to all who receive God’s gift of grace.
Two great readings! The road to Emmaus shows how two disciples encountered Christ; the miracle performed by Peter & John in the name of Jesus reveals how the disciples now continue the Lord’s work. We, too, are invited to encounter the Lord so that we can share what we have received with one another.
