Father Anthony reflects on the story of the disciples on the road to Jerusalem, revealing how the risen Jesus often walks beside us unseen in our moments of confusion, doubt, and grief. He shows how Christ patiently listens, opens the Scriptures, and gently warms the heart before revealing himself—not through spectacle, but in the simple breaking of the bread. What seemed like a stranger becomes the Lord, and sorrow gives way to joy as their eyes are opened.
