Luke tells the story of the first Easter afternoon when Christ appeared before two demoralized disciples who were walking together along the road from Jerusalem to Emmaus. The evident sadness and hopelessness of the moment at first prevented the disciples from seeing God's redemptive purpose. But then the risen Christ 'came near and went with them,' opening their eyes to his presence and lighting the fire of God's love in their hearts.'Our Christian journey is never made alone, however it may sometimes feel,' Julian writes. 'The great company of our fellow travelers extends through time and space. May this Lent be a time when some of these companions become real friends and guides to you.' In The Road to Emmaus you'll meet eight companions from the past who bring wise counsel for today's spiritual journey: - homas Traherne
- The Venerable Bede
- Aelred of Rievaulx
- the author of The Cloud of Unknowing
- John and Charles Wesley
- John Donne
- Julian of Norwich
Through the lives and works of these eight figures from British spirituality, Lenten themes are illuminated. Join them as you travel through the passion of Christ again this year. Make your pilgrimage a time of heightened and more purposeful engagement with elements of the Christian life.Easy-to-follow daily readings, scriptural reflections and prayer lead you (or your small group) from Ash Wednesday to Easter and beyond. Throughout the readings, you'll tread from joy through darkness and back to the light of God's kingdom.
