The Holy Body and Blood of Christ

“Take it; this is my body.”
Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them,
and they all drank from it.

DkruppaWhy are meals, eaten in the company of others so important to us? There’s so much more that happens when food, conversation and care are shared. Most of the time we linger and long for the time when we can do this again. Meals seal our loves and our lives. We become that which we receive—family, friendship, companionship. We are bound together in new ways. Eucharist is like that too! It seals us to one another. It promises a future. It provides food for the journey of life, of faith, of conversion.

As you think about your lifetime, in what ways has sharing in the Eucharist made you that which you receive?

To what or to whom has Eucharist made you more committed, more covenanted?
