Fear, confusion, uncertainty, the disciples experienced all of it in the Upper Room.

He Was Walking With You All Along - Third Sunday of Easter

On the road to Emmaus, two disciples are overwhelmed, confused, and trying to process everything that has happened in the days leading up to Easter. And right in the middle of it, Jesus is there, yet they don’t recognize Him. The same thing often happens in our own lives. We carry stress, disappointment, and unanswered questions, and those things can cloud our ability to see that the Lord is already walking with us. What changes everything for the disciples is not a dramatic moment, but a gradual encounter that leads them to recognize Him in the breaking of the bread. In the Eucharist, their eyes are opened. In the Eucharist, ours can be too.
