They recognized him in the Eucharist!

I bought this lesson hoping it will tell me something I have been curious about for a long time, namely, how was it that the two disciples recognized him in "the breaking of the bread". This lesson provided me with the background and insight I needed to finally "get it". Listen to it and you should be able to as well. Just try to remember this, once you have finished the whole thing and thought about all Brent explains. For some reason Brent does not explicitly mention this himself in the lesson. It is simply that it was in "the breaking of the bread", that they recognized him, Jesus, in the Eucharist! Even if you understand this now simply because I have pointed it out to you, if you listen to the lesson you will appreciate its significance much better as well as other curious elements of that story. Such as why it just so happened that it was at that point that he, the human figure of Jesus, decided to make his "farewell" by disappearing from their sight. When He explained his passion and death to them along the way, perhaps, perhaps as a byproduct, He may have also explained to them the Real Presence in the Eucharist, another thing they had not recognized about His identity until later. Great lesson.

Dr. Pitre clearly explained the meaning of the text concerning the presence of Christ during and after the journey. I also like the Biblical understanding of who the two people were. One was Cleopas and the other was not necessarily a man. Dr. Pitre explains, it could have been his wife.

Road to Emmaus

What a beautiful reflection of Scripture! This was so powerful I had to purchase for my classmates who will, God willing, be ordained deacons this coming April. Thank you for committing to have reflections like this available to everyone.
