III Sunday of Easter April 26, 2020
Luke 24: 13 – 35, The Disciples on the Road to Emmaus is a story of a journey within a journey within a journey. All of Luke’s Gospel takes place within a journey theme. Jesus travels from up in the northern re-gions of Galilee to the south in Jerusalem, a distance of just under 100 miles. In the third gospel Jesus makes the one long trip and, on the way, He meets people. Everyone he meets is changed because of the encounter; some for the better because they accept who He is and what He says and some for the worse because they re-ject Him and His word. These two disciples, Cleopas and his traveling companion, have evidently been with Jesus through the Public Ministry. But simply because they were present does not necessarily mean that they understood Him or His message. They articulate their disappointment to this stranger who happens to fall into their company, expressing their hopes that He …
who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,
how our chief priests and rulers both handed him over to a sentence of death and crucified him.
But we were hoping that he would be the one to redeem Israel… Jesus castigates them and with characteristic gentleness begins to teach them using Sacred Scripture. This journey is presented by the evangelist along the same structure of the Mass. On their journey Jesus engag-es in the Liturgy of the Word as we have at Mass. The Word is proclaimed then the homily is given, both an exhortative and educational effort. As the preacher unpacks its meaning we are fed by The Word. The second part of the Mass, the Liturgy of the Eucharist, begins when Jesus decides to remain with them. Then, seated at the table, He engages those same actions as he did at every Eucharistic encounter in the Public Ministry and at the Last Supper: He takes, He blesses, He breaks and He distributes. With that their eyes were opened and they recognized him… They asked him to stay with them, remain with them, abide with them. That is what Jesus continues to do for us; He remains with us; He abides with us in and through the Eucharist. Among the last of his Apostolic Letters, Pope St. John Paul II wrote Mane Nobiscum Domine, Stay with us Lord.
The image of the disciples on the way to Emmaus can serve as a fitting guide for … living out the mystery of the Holy Eucharist. Amid our questions and difficulties, and even our bitter dis-appointments, the divine Wayfarer continues to walk at our side, opening to us the Scriptures and leading us to a deeper understanding of the mysteries of God. When we meet him fully, we will pass from the light of the Word to the light streaming from the “Bread of life”, the supreme fulfilment of his promise to “be with us always, to the end of the age” (cf. Mt 28:20). (Mane Nobiscum Domine § 2)
Our journeys continue even in the midst of the forced isolation, quarantining and social distance we maintain. I have had people contact me and express their longing, their ardent desire to once again celebrate the Eucharist and receive Holy Communion. There is nothing else quite like it. Perhaps through this deprava-tion we will become more aware and more grateful for those elements of our lives that we, for whatever rea-son, have to come to underappreciate or even taken for granted. So many of us have been required to be with the most important people in our lives, our families. Perhaps we can now come to respect those elements and people with a renewed effort. The word respect comes from the Latin – respicere, which means to look at a second time. This requires some reflection. Reflect on the importance of the people in your life. Reflect on the importance on the Eucharist in your life. Be grateful for both. Faithfully, Msgr. Diamond

The Ministry of Consolation A St. Cornelius community response to the needs of people grieving the death of a significant person/persons in their lives. The ministry honors the words and exam-
ple of the Lord Jesus: "Blessed are they who mourn;
they shall be consoled" (Matthew 5:4).
A team of three trained St. Cornelius church members are the facilitators for the consolation ministry. At this time, due to the coronavirus we are all strug-gling with, we need to put our ministry on hold until a later date can be arranged. When that date can be de-termined, we will inform our current participants. Watch this space for updates.
Helping Hands and Hearts
This ministry offers temporary help (meals, home vis-its, light cleaning, laundry, errands) to individuals and families in need! If you are aware of someone in need or would like to be a volunteer helper, please contact Marilyn Gustin at (484) 732-8842.

St. Cornelius Family Promise Ministry
“It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching”
Francis of Assisi St. Cornelius volunteers care for homeless families through the Family Promise inter-faith ministry in southern Chester County. Due to the coronavirus pan-
demic, Family Promise is sheltering their guests in a hotel at this time, so there will be no volunteer responsibilities at the churches. Please consider donating gift cards to Ac-me, Aldi or Shop Rite, which are stores close to the hotel. Financial con-
tributions would also be appreciated. Mail to: Family Promise, 1156 W. Baltimore Pike, P.O. Box 394, Kennett Square, PA 19348. For questions, please contact Kathy Silvon at [email protected] or call 484-720-8214.

The St . Cornel iu s Li terary Socie ty
The SCLS is well under way for 2020. Our gatherings have looked at the works of Graham Green’s The Power and the Glory and selected short stories by Flannery O’Connor and two works by C. S. Lewis Mere Christianity and The Screwtape Letters. For our next symposium on writers we will look at a writer who has had im-mense influence on Catholic so-cial causes. Founder of the Cath-olic Worker Movement, and con-vert to Catholicism Dorothy Day became a voice for the poor and homeless through her non-violent activism. Her autobiography, The Long Loneliness, I think you will find both fascinating and inspiring as she recounts her journey from Greenwich Village, NY to her conversion to Catholicism. Normally we meet on the second Sunday of the month, however, following the directives of state and local offi-cials, the CDC, Archbishop Pérez and good common sense we must postpone our usual gatherings until further notice. I would encourage you to take this time and enjoy our se-lected reading for when we next gather.
Eucharistic Adoration While we are not able to Adore Jesus in our beautiful chapel we can go and adore Jesus live on the internet. Google Live Ad-oration: EWTN has live adoration 9am -6pm E.T., the National Shrine of St. Maxi-milian Kolbe has a live stream in their chapel 24/7. http://kolbeshrine.org When the Adoration chapel opens again, please consid-er what a privilege and honor it is to have Jesus on the altar during Adoration and think about visiting Him on a regular basis. When this pandemic is over, please call and sign up for an assigned time with our Lord. We will have much to be thankful for and will want to thank Jesus in person. We will need of a second Adorer, when Adoration be-gins again, for the following times: Mondays 9 a m, noon, 2, 3, 4, and 7 p m, and Fridays 11, noon, and 1 p m. This is a good opportunity to step up and fill a need and show Our Lord how much we love Him. Contact: Sue Miller 484-480-5882 or Toni Moyer 484-840-0552.
SACRED HEART OF JESUS, I ADORE YOU IN THE MOST BLESSED SACRAMENT!

LEAD THE WAY Urge Congress to Support
those Most Vulnerable in Addressing COVID-19
It is truly a pivotal moment. The world around us has changed and we are experiencing immense uncertainty and loss. At this moment, we must come together as one human family. The Holy Father calls to us, "let us remain united. Let us make our closeness felt to those who are alone and to those who are most stricken." This crisis demonstrates how interconnected we are and how critically important it is to assist those most vulnera-ble both in the U.S. and around the world. You can help lead the way. • You can help support refugees and others on the move
living in crowded settlements with little access to clean water and soap.
• You can help ensure children who rely on that one school lunch can continue to be fed.
How? We invite you to lift your voice to Congress and stand with our human family around the world. Why now? Congress is negotiating its next emergency bill to address COVID-19 right now. We must ensure Con-gress provides funding for international programs that re-duce poverty, keep communities safe and help families survive and thrive. You can help make a difference to prevent the spread of this virus. Your action helps care for vulnerable populations around the world in need of lifesaving as-sistance. For sample letter go to
https://support.crs.org/act/lead-the-way-covid Your letter can make the difference to those
most vulnerable.
