mission

To help the young people build their lives upon the rock which is Jesus, the Word of God, and to live in the power of the Holy Spirit.

This is the fourth mission statement of the Emmaus. Let us first begin with the second part of the statement, to live in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Why is it important to live in the power of the Holy Spirit?

We all have our experience of Christ, one way or another. It may be a big experience, or maybe small. In most cases, we have encountered Christ through prayer groups, one of which is the Emmaus Prayer Group.

The Emmaus group provides this environment where we can encounter Christ.

The Emmaus is not just a church ministry, prayer group, organization, but a Christian community.

The title is the first mission of The Emmaus. We can try to break down this statement and see what we can do to achieve this mission statement. I will refer to articles made by Archbishop Fulton Sheen in many parts of this reflection.

To be disciples of Christ

There do we get the word "disciples" from the story of Emmaus? It is mentioned in the beginning of the story.

And behold, two of them went, the same day, to a town which was sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, named Emmaus.
