In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen. My Lord and my God,

I firmly believe that you are here, that you see me, that you hear me. I adore you with profound

reverence. I ask your pardon for my sins and the grace to make this time of prayer fruitful.

My immaculate Mother St. Joseph, my father, and Lord, my guardian angel, intercede for me.

This meditation concludes our conversation with our Lord concerning that walk to Amas

and the eventual return from Amas back to Jerusalem.

I would say the high point of this encounter with the resurrected Christ and the

high point of our union with Christ. There was a long walk.

Even the length of time serves as a symbol of the amount of prayer and interior life we need to generate with the help of the Holy Spirit in order to duplicate what Jesus did. He profoundly affected the hearts of his two companions.

This serves as a template of evangelization.

Evangelization is the ultimate fruit of the interior life.

St. Jose Maria teaches that the apostolate, the work of evangelization, is an overflow of one's life from within.

It's the love of God that overflows out of our hearts into the hearts of others.

It's that abundance of light that we radiate. It's our Lord's radiation of light, and we radiate the Lord's

light by being united to the light, the ultimate light of the world, which is Jesus Christ,

entering into those ports of entry of prayer, sacrifice, and charity.

And we read here,

and their eyes were opened, and they recognized him,

and he vanished out of their sight.

This commentary of the two disciples is key to the new evangelization or any evangelization, but right now we're dealing with the new one.

These disciples tell us their experience of conversing with the now-recognized resurrected Jesus.

And their eyes were open, they recognized him, and he vanished out of their sight.
