Abril 30, 2017 TERCER DOMINGO DE PASCUA Señor, me enseñaras el sendero de la vida (Salmo 16-1) Mi Querido Rebaño: Los dos discípulos de Emaús, tras haber reconocido al Señor, se levantaron al momento para ir a comunicar lo que habían visto y oído. Cuando se ha tenido verdadera experiencia del Resucitado, alimentándose de su cuerpo y de su sangre, no se puede guarder la alegría para uno mismo. El encuentro con Cristo, profundizado continuamente en la intimidad eucarística, suscita en la iglesia y en cada Cristiano la exigencia de dar testimonio. Fr.
