Eucharist

In last week's sermon, I spoke about the importance of the Eucharist. Jesus as the Bread of Life is a powerful image we have of who Jesus is for us -- the most incredible nutrient in our lives.

When we receive the divine life into ourselves at the Eucharist, we cup our hands.

Do that -- cup your hands for a moment. Then imagine yourself cupped in God's hands -- for the gesture we use to receive Holy Communion is the mirror image of God holding us in the palm of God's hand.

Whenever you feel yourself overburdened or alone -- imagine those cupped hands of God holding you. Rest in those loving hands -- for they are always extended to receive you as the beloved child of God that you are.
