The Comfort & Challenge of the Eucharist | The Rev. Edmund Harris | April 19, 2026

Why does Jesus choose to reveal himself in a meal?

In this Eastertide sermon, Fr. Edmund Harris reflects on the Emmaus story and the profound meaning of the Eucharist. At the table, Christ meets us in our grief and confusion, offering comfort through his real presence. But the Eucharist is not only reassurance—it is transformation.

When we receive the bread and wine and say “Amen,” we are also saying yes to being changed. We are called to recognize Christ not just in church, but in the world—in beauty and brokenness, in those we love and those we struggle to understand.

What if every place became Emmaus? What if every encounter became a meeting with the risen Christ?
