"After Easter, the disciples come to know Jesus in the breaking of the bread. He is present among His followers as He was prior to His death and resurrection, but now; He is present in a new way. 

Of course, as Catholics, we see this clearly in the Eucharist, when we take bread, bless it, break it, and give it. The Bread broken is Christ Himself. He is our nourishment both spiritually and physically, metaphorically and actually. When we participate in the Eucharist, we call to mind His passion, death, and resurrection. We consume Him Who is the Bread of Life.
