Why do people go on the Walk to Emmaus?

Question

I see the change in people after they go, but why do they choose to go in the first place?

Answer 1

For the spiritual experience.

Answer 2

My husband went on the Walk to Emmaus 12 years ago, and I went two weeks later.

We knew we were missing a depth in our lives, even tho we had 'gone to church' all of our lives.

It lights up your heart and brings God, Jesus, and the dear Holy Spirit into a closeness and a reality unknown before. I recommend it to any human being on this earth. Just thinking about it makes me smile. Your heart melts more and more every hour, for 3 days. What a thrill. :)

I am still just as close to God 12 years later. That is really saying a lot, because to be honest my life has been riddled with every kind of problem you could think of. But I am warm in my heart. :)

When ya know you don't have a real closeness with God, and you are just going through the motions....go on the Walk to Emmaus!!! You won't believe what you have been missing! :)

Peace to you and yours,
