Liturgy for Third Sunday of Easter by Rev. Dr. Bridget Mary Meehan ARCWP Theme: “Did Not Our Hearts Burn?” — The Road to Emmaus Reimagined

What if one of the disciples on the road to Emmaus was a woman?

The Gospel names only Cleopas.

The other disciple remains unnamed—open, spacious, inviting us in.

What if that second disciple is not an omission,

but an invitation?

An invitation to see ourselves in the story.

An invitation to recognize that resurrection appearances

are not limited by gender, status, or recognition.

So today, let us imagine:

Cleopas and his companion—perhaps his wife, perhaps a woman disciple—

walking together, side by side,

carrying grief, confusion, and shattered hope.
