Sunday of the Third Week of Easter – A Time of Lectio Divina for the Discerning Heart Podcast

This episode of the Discerning Hearts podcast centers on the Gospel of Luke’s account of the Road to Emmaus, reflecting on the third Sunday of Easter through the practice of Lectio Divina. The host guides listeners through a meditative experience, inviting them to pause, surrender their worries, and open their hearts to Christ’s presence. The narrative unfolds as two disciples, burdened by grief and confusion after Jesus’ crucifixion, walk toward Emmaus while discussing the recent events. Though Jesus walks beside them, they fail to recognize Him—until He breaks bread with them, at which point their eyes are opened. The episode emphasizes the transformative power of Scripture, the importance of attentive listening, and the deep interior joy that comes from encountering Christ in word and sacrament. The host invites personal reflection: What did the Lord say to you? What moved your heart? The episode closes with the Lord’s Prayer, grounding the experience in communal faith and divine intimacy.
