Today is another non-running day as are most Sundays now. That is fine. A day of rest after a hard run and a therapeutic massage is not a bad thing.
As for today's lesson it will be brief, as there is a lot to do today.
Today's lesson at St. Pius X for third graders will include the completion of last week's lesson. In last week's lesson we talked about how God speaks to people. One example is the story of the road to Emmaus. On that, God, as part of the Holy Trinity, was in the form of the risen Jesus.
I have always loved the story.
There are certain aspects of the story that I find particularly appealing--especially how the disciples eventually identify Jesus through the breaking of the bread. Bread is a constant theme in my life, and if I ever get a second tattoo (and I am not sure that I will) bread will be an important feature.
In any case, this is the first wedding anniversary for two friends of mine who had a wonderful wedding ceremony last year on Saturday September 22.
The gospel story of the Road to Emmaus was the gospel reading at their Catholic wedding.
It is a wonderful story but I never really thought of it as something for a wedding. I had always presumed that the two disciples on the road were men. My one friend pointed out that there are some interpretations suggesting it was a man and woman. What a wonderful story then for thinking about recognizing Christ together as part of a couple's spiritual life.
This is just one example of looking for second meanings and then thinking of how a second interpretation can be translated into a new insight, a new meaning, a new lesson, and something new to help me act.
I am sure that lesson can be carried over to other parts of my life to help me on my road to better.
