Mass Prep: Why You Don’t Recognize Jesus | Luke 24:13–35

About this episode

This episode explores why the disciples did not recognize Jesus on the Road to Emmaus and how we can encounter Christ today.

In this Mass Prep for Luke 24:13–35, we walk the Road to Emmaus and ask a powerful question: why didn’t the disciples recognize Jesus? From Mary Magdalene hearing her name to the breaking of the bread, this Gospel reveals where we actually encounter Christ today—in personal prayer, in the Eucharist, and even in the quiet moments where our hearts begin to burn. If God feels distant or hidden, this reflection will help you see how He may already be closer than you think.
