Christ in the Liturgy
[T]heir eyes were opened, and they recognized him.... Luke 24:31
When the disciples reach their destination, they invite Jesus to join them, and as we know, they finally recognize him as he breaks bread with them. Today we do as well, through each of the Seven Sacraments, where we too encounter the Risen Christ.
