Risen that Walker makes with them and begins to share the conversation, you are invited to stay and share bread, and they recognized him, do not remain in Jerusalem, and now again joyful communicate the big news, there is a change, a transformation, become happy and glad to say we have seen Jesus, be has appeared with us. We can mention more stories, they are sometimes long, sometimes short, they presented Jesus, presented to the person concerned, a Word, several words, several phrases. Now well, the Eucharist is a meeting and is an encounter with the mystery of Christ, is meeting with Christ will take its rituality, as we have seen in the two disciples of Emmaus rituality: greeting, conversation, Word, break bread, and turned to give testimony, there is a ritual, and ES rituality performs the transformation and the change of persons.
