Do you think of a thing, perhaps the bread and wine? Or do you think of an action, perhaps the Mass? BY THE From the first appearance on Easter Sunday evening with the disciples on their way to Emmaus where he breaks bread, to the final appearance in today’s gospel where they have a fish breakfast on the lake shore, Oddly enough, if you go to being with Jesus is associGreece you’ll hear the word ated with eating and drinking. Could the gospel writ“Eucharist”, though pronounced in a slightly different way, every few minutes. That’s because it’s the Greek word for “thank you”. So the Eucharist is really the action of giving thanks to God for creation and redemption. It’s an action first and foremost, and then a thing secondarily since we reserve the Eucharistic species of bread and wine for use with the sick and sometimes for adoration. If you take a look at the appearances of Jesus after his resurrection, you’re bound to notice that food plays a great part in them. ers be trying to give us a clue? T he Eucharist is the action of the Church in the power of the Holy Spirit by which we praise and thank God for the wonders he has worked for us and those he is still doing today. By calling down the Holy Spirit upon the bread and wine we effect the transformation of the elements into the body and blood of Christ. We also LAKE call down the Spirit upon ourselves so that by sharing communion we too are transformed into the Body of Christ that is the Church. In other words, we become what we eat. What did the Bishop say in his pastoral letter last weekend? (in case, someone has been playing the game of Chinese whispers with you!)

W e meet Christ in the words that are proclaimed from scripture, for they convey the message that his life embodied. We meet Christ is the faces of those whose paths cross ours daily, especially those in need. We meet Christ in those who minister God’s love to us through the sacraments. We meet Christ in his body, the Church, when we gather together with two or three or more to worship in his name. But most of all, and in a special way, we meet the risen Christ in Eucharist where he invites us to eat and drink in the consummate act of thanksgiving that seals us in God’s love.
