PODCAST | With Burning Hearts
In this meditation, Fr. Peter Armenio reflects on how the Risen Christ remained hidden from the disciples on the road to Emmaus so they would learn to recognize him with the eyes of faith. Drawing from St. Luke’s Gospel, Fr. Peter shares how we too are called to encounter Christ daily—especially in the Bread and the Word—through a life of prayer and faith.
Listen now to reflect on:
• Why Christ willed to remain hidden after the Resurrection
• How Christ wants to be encountered today through faith in the Eucharist and Scripture
• The importance of prayer as a daily rendezvous point with Christ
• How St. Luke emphasizes interior prayer life and perseverance in his Gospel
• Why spiritual strength and apostolic fruitfulness depend on this kind of prayer
