Introduction to the Celebration
Since the very first days of the church — before St Paul had
set out on his journeys or any of the gospels were written — our brothers and
sisters have been gathering every week for this sacred meal. But when we
routinely do anything, we often lose sight of just how wonderful it is. So
today we are reflecting on just how wonderful it is to be called by the Lord to
gather in his presence, to be his guests at his table, and to eat and drink
from his wonderful bounty. In this banquet we become one with Christ, and are
transformed into being his Body, and his Blood flows in all our veins giving us
the strength to be his witnesses in the world and the life that never ends.
