Scriptural Vision:
Jesus on the Road to Emmaus: Luke 24.13-35


Why this Scripture?:

  • The greatest struggle of the DCCC is the attrition of children from catechesis classes after completing their reception of the Sacraments of Initiation.
  • The problem is not the children as much as it is the parents, who feel that once the Sacraments of Initiation are received the faith education is complete.
  • The parents do not come to church on a regular basis because the service does not speak to their hearts – they have not been evangelized themselves.
  • We need to walk with families where they are at, sharing with them who Jesus is and what he means for our lives. In this way they too will be able to say, like the disciples on the road to Emmaus, ‘Were not our hearts burning within us?’
