quote from Pope Francis - two disciples on the Road to Emmaus

I saw this quote from Pope Francis in the Knights of Columbus Chaplain's report that I receive.  I really like this quote a lot: 

"The two disciples left Jerusalem.... The are scandalized by the failure of the Messiah in whom they had hoped and whom now appeared utterly vanquished....So they set off on the road alone, with their disappointment....We need a Church capable of meeting them on the way.  We need a Church capable of entering into their conversation...able to dialogue with those disciples who, having left Jerusalem behind, are wandering aimlessly, alone, with their own disappointment, disillusioned by a Christianity now considered barren, fruitless soil, incapable of generating meaning."
