I am in 100% agreement with what B16 Said about Pascha here:
As with the disciples of Emmaus who figure in today’s Gospel, “the Lord is walking with us and he explains the Scripture to us. He brings us to understand this mystery in which everything speaks of Him. This should make our hearts burn so that our eyes may also be opened. The Lord is with us, He shows us the true path”.
The disciples of Emmaus recognized Christ “as He broke the bread. … We too”, the Holy Father concluded, “can meet and know Jesus Christ in the celebration of the Eucharist, … on the double altar of the announced Word and the consecrated Bread and Wine.
Notice you don’t even need to believe in what scoffers call the “ZOmbie Jesus” to agree with what B16 says: Jesus is with us just like he was with those guys in Emmaus. A Spiritual Presence, known in the break of the bread and in the proclamation of the Gospel.”
