Third Sunday of Easter • The Road to Emmaus: Understanding Our Living Tradition
Join Father Greg Heille from St. Louis as he reflects on the powerful readings for the 3rd Sunday of Easter. In this video, we explore the beautiful narrative of the Road to Emmaus (Luke 24) and the central theme of "Tradition"—from the Latin *Traditio*, meaning "to hand forward." Father Greg dives into the history of the early Church, exploring how St. Peter and St. Paul shared the "Kerygma" (the Good News) with both Jews and Gentiles. Learn how the breaking of the bread and the study of Scripture continue to unite us in a living tradition that spans generations. Whether you are preparing for Sunday Mass or seeking a deeper understanding of the Resurrection narratives, this reflection offers insights into how we are called to live out the mission of Jesus today: proclaiming peace and serving those in need. **Key Topics Covered:** * The meaning of "Tradition" and passing on the faith. * A deep dive into the Road to Emmaus in the Gospel of Luke. * The "Kerygma" and the preaching of St. Peter in the Acts of the Apostles. * St. Paul’s mission to the Gentiles and the vision of unity. * Living as a Eucharistic community in the modern world. **Timeline:** 0:00 - Introduction by Father Greg Heille 0:24 - The Meaning of Tradition (Traditio) 1:07 - The Road to Emmaus: Luke 24 2:19 - The Earliest Eucharistic Communities 3:01 - Acts of the Apostles: Peter and the Kerygma 4:20 - St. Paul’s Mission to the Gentiles 6:25 - The Dialogue of Unity: Jews and Gentiles 7:02 - 1 Peter: A Living Tradition 7:58 - Our Mission: Gathering and Proclaiming Peace #RoadToEmmaus #EasterSeason #CatholicReflection #GospelOfLuke #BibleStudy #ChristianFaith #SundayGospel #FatherGregHeille #Eucharist #ActsOfTheApostles #LivingTradition #Kerygma
