Have you ever wondered what it would be like to meet the risen Christ? During the Octave of Easter, we’ll hear a series of Gospel readings about the Resurrection. On Easter Wednesday, we’ll read from Luke 24, when Jesus appears to two disciples on the road to Emmaus.
Prayer is necessary, but it’s not easy. “[F]or we do not know how to pray as we ought” (Rom 8:26). We know how to pray in a superficial way, but not as we ought. The good news is that our Father knows this, and so He has sent His Son to teach us and has sent His Spirit to transform our moans, groans, and sighs into the profoundest prayers that reach the depths of God’s heart. “The Spirit helps us in our weakness. . . . [T]he Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words” (Rom 8:26).
