Homily, Shrine of Saint Cajetan-August 7, 2004.

Today, the Word of God speaks to us of paths. The path of disenchantment and the path of hope. Elijah, pursued by King Ahab and Queen Jezebel, takes the path of flight and hopes for death: "Enough, LORD! Take my life, for I am no better than my ancestors" (1 Kgs 19: 4). The disciples from Emmaus, saddened by Jesus' death, leave the community united in its affliction waiting for the Lord and return home: "we were hoping. " they tell the Stranger who accompanies them along the way, but "it is now the third day since this took place" (cf. Lk 24: 13-35), as if to say 'nothing more is going to happen here. Let's go.'
