A Journey with
Christ - The
Gospel of St.
Luke relates the story of the risen
Christ appearing to two who were going along the road from Jerusalem to
Emmaus. Two friends were
walking together, sharing their hearts'
deepest
concerns. The risen Christ joined them and explained the scriptures as
they walked, how it was ordained that Christ should suffer and so
enter
his glory. This experience on the road was a heart-warming
experience
as
the risen Christ walked and talked with them. The illuminating climax
of
the experience was when
Christ took bread and said the blessing, then
broke
it and gave it to them. The two had their eyes opened and they
recognized
him as the risen Christ and they rushed back to Jerusalem
to tell
others.
(Luke 24:13-35)
