He Comes to Us
After Jesus suffered His Passion and rose from the dead, Peter tells the disciples that he will be going fishing. In some ways Peter is going back to his old life, life before Jesus. It is at this time and place that Jesus chooses to appear to Peter, to remind him of when He first called him and chose him, and to encourage him in his vocation — to catch not fish, but rather, people.
It is I Myself
After the two disciples shared with the Apostles that they recognized Him in the “breaking of the bread,” Jesus appears to them and says to them, “Peace be with you.” He comforts them and tells them it is truly Him, the Jesus with whom they’ve journeyed for three years. Jesus comes to us today, will we receive Him?
They Recognized Him
While walking on the road to Emmaus, Jesus encounters two disciples who do not recognize Him. They ask Jesus to stay with them for it was night. At dinner, Jesus takes bread, blesses it, breaks it, and gives it to them. They immediately recognize Jesus. Such is the power in the breaking of the bread, for it is not simply bread, but Jesus Himself.
