With that their eyes were opened and they recognized Him

“So he went in to stay with them. And it happened that, while he was with them at table, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them.
With that their eyes were opened and they recognized him, but he vanished from their sight.” (LK 24: 30-31)

“They recognized Him” through the Eucharist when “he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them.” The Eucharist still represents the most significant way in which we can recognize Him. The Eucharist is a special place where we can meet Him and His love. It is not only a memory of what He did for us, but it is also a moment of His special presence among us.

“This is the day the LORD has made; let us be glad and rejoice in it.” (Gospel Acclamation)
