Remembering is the heart of the Eucharist. When we share bread and wine, we remember the Last Supper, the crucifixion, and the resurrection all at once. We taste both the brokenness of the world and God's victory over death. We glimpse the kingdom. But remembering is not the point. The point is the encounter the remembering makes possible — the moment, like the disciples in Emmaus, when we recognize who has been walking beside us all along.
