I agree with David about the power and value of the story of the Road to Emmaus in Luke's gospel. I regard the story as an early Eucharist story: the Liturgy of the Word when Jesus breaks open the scripture to the two disciples, the Consecration when Jesus breaks the bread, and the sending forth when Jesus disappears and the disciples run back to Jerusalem to tell their friends. (As a side note: I can't wait until David is ordained a deacon.)
