Note: this is NOT a video of mass; the Eucharist is being celebrated privately on our behalf by the Archbishop and others (links can be found at archstl.org). This is a glimpse of what you would have heard and seen at St. Vincent's this weekend if we could have all been here together.

The Road to Emmaus: We are beginning several weeks of "resurrection stories" with a very familiar one. Even though we are in the year of Matthew's gospel, during the Easter season we only hear Matthew on the feast of the Ascension. Mostly, we will hear from John but today we hear from Luke so that we can hear this particular story. But first, we hear Peter get up and tell the people that Jesus is the fulfillment of everything that they have ever known; that King David was only a precursor. Then, in Peter's first letter he encourages the faithful (all of us) to focus on what is truly important -- not silver or gold, but Jesus Christ.
