Gospel, Saint, prayer of April 4th

Today's Gospel
From the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Luke 24,13-35.
On that same day, the first of the week, two disciples of Jesus were on their way to a village about seven miles from Jerusalem, named Emmaus,
and they talked about everything that had happened.
While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself approached and walked with them.
But their eyes were unable to recognize it.
And he said to them, "What are these talks you are making among you on the way?" They stopped, with a sad face;
one of them, named Cleopa, said to him, "Are you the only foreigner in Jerusalem that you don't know what has happened to you these days?"
He asked, "What?" They answered him: «Everything concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a powerful prophet in deeds and in words, before God and all the people;
how the high priests and our leaders handed him over to be sentenced to death and then crucified him.
We hoped it was he who liberated Israel; with all this three days have passed since these things happened.
But some women, ours, upset us; went to the tomb in the morning
and not having found his body, they came to tell us that they also had a vision of angels, who claim that he is alive.
Some of our men went to the sepulcher and found what the women said, but they didn't see him. "
And he said to them, "Foolish and heartfelt in believing the word of the prophets!
Didn't Christ have to endure these sufferings to enter into his glory? ».
And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them in all the scriptures what referred to him.
When they were near the village where they were headed, he acted as if he had to go further.
But they insisted: "Stay with us because it is evening and the day is already turning to decline." He entered to stay with them.
When he was at the table with them, he took the bread, said the blessing, broke it and gave it to them.
Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him. But he disappeared from their sight.
And they said to each other, "Didn't our hearts burn in our breasts as they conversed with us along the way when they explained the scriptures to us?"
And they departed without delay and returned to Jerusalem, where they found the Eleven and the others who were with them gathered,
who said: "Truly the Lord is risen and has appeared to Simon."
They then reported what had happened along the way and how they recognized it in breaking the bread.

We are here before you, Holy Spirit;
we feel the weight of our weaknesses,
but we are all gathered together with your name;
come to us, assist us, come into our hearts;
teach us what we have to do,
show us the way forward,
fulfill yourself what we requested.

You are the only one to suggest and guide our decisions,
because you alone, with God the Father and his Son,
you have a holy and glorious name;
do not allow justice to be harmed by us,
you who love order and peace;
do not mislead us ignorance;
let not human sympathy make us partial,
do not affect us offices and people;
hold us close to you and in nothing we detach ourselves from the truth;
grant that you reunite in your holy name,
we know how to balance goodness and firmness together,
so as to do everything in harmony with you,
waiting for the faithful fulfillment of the duty
eternal goods are given to us in the future. Amen.
