My Dear Parishioners,
Luke, a masterful storyteller, describes the journey of two disciples who were walking from Jerusalem to Emmaus on the day that Jesus rose from the dead. They had completely lost their bearings and sense of spiritual direction in the overwhelming aftermath of Jesus’ death. In addition, there was the added mystery of the empty tomb.
As they traveled, a man joined them – the resurrected Jesus, although they did not recognize him, and there was a re-learning on the part of the disciples, who heard a deeper explanation of the Scriptures than they had heard before.
Now, once the disciples arrive in Emmaus, they invite Jesus in and break bread together, and this simple meal becomes Holy. Jesus takes bread, blesses it, breaks it, and gives it to them. And then, their eyes are opened, and they recognize him in the breaking of the bread.
As Catholics we believe that the Eucharist is the source and summit of our Faith. There is really nothing more important than this. So, as we worship at Mass, we pray that like the disciples at Emmaus our eyes will be open and we will recognize Jesus.

CORPUS NEWS
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
As a part of their two-year preparation process, the children in our Religious Education Program will be on a First Communion Retreat on the morning of Saturday, April 18th at the Carondelet Center. This is a chance for the children to deepen their understanding of the Eucharist and to reflect on and get ready for the joyful moment of receiving Christ in the Eucharist on May 16.
REST IN PEACE:
Please remember in your prayers. Sean Waters, a Corpus Christi parishioner whose children, Ryan, Christine, and Lauren, are all Corpus Christi School graduates. His funeral will take place at St. Martin of Tours Church on Saturday, April 18 at 11:30 am.
Also, it is with great sadness that the parish of St. Matthews in Pacific Palisades shares the news of the unexpected death this week of its former Rector, Rev. Bruce A. Freeman.
May they rest in peace in God’s loving arms.
