Eucharist

The Eucharist—our gathered meal of thanksgiving for the life, death, and resurrection of Christ—transforms each humble meal into a moment to recall that we receive all of life, from soup to salvation, by grace.
Tish Harrison Warren, Liturgy of the Ordinary

Eating, and food, are part of our everyday lives. Just as daily food sustains us, the Word and the Sacrament sustains and nourishes our souls. We come to communion this Sunday acknowledging that Jesus is our bread and gives us bread. He is the gift and the giver. Every meal that we eat is partial and inadequate, always pointing to him who is our true food, our eternal nourishment. Come this week with gratitude for this undeserved gift and the gracious Giver who forms us into a thankful and generous people, even as we feed on him.

Grace and peace,

Anita Sorenson
