The new model of living invites us to mirror the image of God we find in it – the face of a deepened humanity, generous, inclusive, loving and attractive. It is not easy.
Jesus once again breaks all boundaries with joy and wonder on the road to Emmaus and then offers the first Eucharistic model after the resurrection.
Peter sees it – he gets it – the power and purpose of Christ’s resurrection, and the implications overtake him.
