THE EMMAUS ROAD (The Gospel of Luke 24:13-35) The disciples were returning to Emmaus after the crucifixion of Jesus when they encountered a man who wanted to know what was troubling them. He walked with them and opened their hearts and minds to Scripture and what it said about Jesus – the promised Messiah. Arriving at Emmaus, they invited the man to stay for dinner. At the table, He broke bread, gave thanks, and handed it to the disciples. At once, their eyes were opened, and they recognized the man as the risen Lord. Immediately, He vanished from their sight leaving them with the bread, a renewed faith, and an everlasting sign of his Holy presence.
What is a Women’s Emmaus Weekend Retreat? An Emmaus Retreat is a spiritual retreat for women. It is organized and given by laypeople who are your peers in the community and who face the same challenges – and successes – that you do daily. The weekend begins on Friday evening and ends on Sunday afternoon; its purpose is to give you the opportunity to ponder and reflect upon your life, and on your individual relationship with Jesus Christ. The women who attend Emmaus are ordinary women who come from all levels of society.
How much does it cost? The all-inclusive cost for the weekend is $250 per attendee. This includes a private room and all meals (including snacks) Friday evening through Sunday lunch.
