Christian worship is not only a commemoration of past
events nor even a specific, inner mystical experience; rather, it is
essentially an encounter with the Risen Lord who lives in the dimension
of God beyond time and space, and yet becomes really present amidst the
community, speaks to us in the Sacred Scriptures and breaks the bread of
eternal life for us.
It is through these signs that we relive what the
disciples experienced, that is, the event of seeing Jesus and at the
same time of not recognizing him; of touching his body, a real body and
yet free from earthly bonds.
