Jesus perfectly illustrates the Holy Sacrament of the Mass when the two of them talk to each other about everything that has happened. (Luke 24:14) Jesus told them that it was foretold in the Old Testament that the Messiah would have to accept suffering before he could enter into glory. They understood and invited Jesus to stay with them. (Luke 24:29) Jesus used his words to speak about all that was prophesied in the Scriptures and about himself.
Now while he was with them at table, he took the bread and said the blessing; then he broke it and handed it to them. And their eyes were opened and they recognised him; but he had vanished from their sight. (Luke 24:30)
The moment of the breaking of bread in the Holy Sacrifice is the re-enactment of the Last Supper between Jesus and his disciples. When the priest consecrates the bread, wine. It is the high point of the whole Mass. In the Bible, when Jesus broke the bread, also gave it to the two people. Their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus. How did they recognize Jesus then? Or why didn't they recognize Jesus before? There is no explanation in the Scriptures. But the point is that Jesus did the symbolic act of breaking the bread at the Last Supper, which became the recognition among the disciples. They recognized Jesus through that action, and the breaking of bread in Holy Mass later also made believers recognize Jesus, and Jesus was indeed with everyone.
In the life of Jesus, through His own words and deeds to teach repentance and prove that He is the coming Messiah. His words are teaching and preaching and His deeds are miracles. Both in the life of Jesus It cannot be separated. is also to make the believers understand that He is the Jesus who is both human and divine. The apostle Thomas didn't put his fingers on the side and palm of Jesus, he just looked at Jesus and replied, 'My Lord and my God!': (John 20:28) This is a true testimony of faith.
