In this session, we provide an overview of the story of the Emmaus journey that we are embarking on this year with the disciples in Luke 24:13-35. Archbishop Listecki will help us to reflect on what God desires for us.
This Week in Emmaus 90
We continue asking Jesus to help us to know what we desire, to trust him enough to tell him about it, to let him meet us in that place, and to understand God's desires for us and not lose sight of the reality that we can't do it on our own, we need to seek God's grace.
Daily Prayer with Scripture
This week's Scriptures continue to help us share our desires with God and also begin to understand God's desires for us. Use the Prayer Prompt inside the front cover of your Christmas Edition with these

Got a Pilgrim Group?
Growth in discipleship is not a solo sport. The encouragement and prayers of the broader Emmaus 90 community helps. Walking with a group of 2-3 others who are committed to each other's growth is a game-changer.
It's not too late to invite friends or family to join you (or form a Pilgrim Group)! Ask the Lord to help you to think of:
- Who would you like to be with you on this journey into deeper relationship with God?
- Who would you like to help you along the way?
- Who is someone who loves you and encourages you?
- Who is someone you'd like to "grow up to be like" spiritually?
- Who would you like to encourage to grow in their faith?
- Who do you wish knew that God loved them and is with them?
- Who do you know is hungry to grow?
- Who is searching for something more?
Invite them to join you on this Emmaus 90 journey. It's not too late to Register Here.
If they register before January 6, they will receive the Guidebook by mail before January 20 (when the 90-day countdown to Easter begins). Registration will stay open after January 6, but we cannot guarantee that they will receive a printed Guidebook. They will receive access to all our resources electronically.
