When the two disciples on the way to Emmaus saw Jesus in the breaking of the bread, in the Mass, their eyes were opened to who he is. We today should consider, do we recognize him?

Is Mass just a requirement for us? Do we “punch the clock” and get our obligation out of the way? Do our hearts burn with anticipation and love when we come forward to receive our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament or do we think the Eucharist is just some symbol? Is there something impeding the eyes of our heart from seeing him? We need to let go of those things that impede our eyes from seeing Jesus. Ask Jesus for the grace to let go of these things, and to recognize him and have our hearts burn within us.
