It is now just seven days before our Confirmation rite and eight days before we leave for Bicol. As we make our final preparations, let us call out to Jesus to remain with us along the many roads to Emmaus of our time. May he be our strength, our point of reference, our enduring hope.

To do this, let us remember the story of the disciples walking on the road to Emmaus after Jesus' death? (Luke 24:13-35). The disciples were despairing. They thought they had lost their best friend forever. They were down in the dumps. They were losing hope. Then Jesus appeared and walked with them, restored their hope.

What can we do to walk with our friends who are ill, injured, or simply down the dumps, so that we can help them to have hope again?

Jesus, thank you for not leaving us, for always being with us, and for walking by our side. Help us to be a friend like you, to walk with our friends in their time of despair, to bring them a sense of hope in your name. - Alpha Mission Omega
