All meals carry with them the potential of nourishment and healing and more. Particularly important meals of celebration, shared with others, confirm our identity and allow us to celebrate our very existence and all our lives give to us. We need the food and drink to sustain us, and we need to be thankful for what life provides for us not just in the meal but in the people with whom we share our lives. All these elements are present when we celebrate the Eucharist together. As we come together to remember what He did for us, as we share the message of God’s kingdom, as we pray for healing, as we eat the bread and wine that have become the body and blood of Christ, we make present the mystery of the cross and resurrection. We are truly Christ’s body in and for our world. Christ’s body is made incarnate again through our own humanity, offered to each other as food and drink to nourish and to heal.
