Interpretations

It’s remarkable to me that every time I read something in the Bible, even the same passages over and over, the Holy Spirit shows me a different interpretation. But all of the interpretations work together! As I said, it’s remarkable. For instance, yesterday I was inspired to write one interpretation of the story of the travelers on the road to Emmaus. I was inspired after reading the passage. But now, this morning at Mass, instead of reading the gospel, I just listened. And a totally different, but complimentary interpretation came to me.

Listening to the passage, I became somewhat envious of the travelers! Can you imagine getting a “Bible study” from Jesus Christ personally; then, when the “lesson” was over, to “break bread” and give thanks to our Savior for His sacrifice? That’s when it hit me. That’s the Mass! God is awesome.
