Sixth Friday of Lent - March 26
“Sometimes it’s neglected that the table of the Word leads us to the table of the Eucharist. If you go back to the earliest of Christian communities, they gathered around and read the Jewish Scriptures, they told stories about Jesus and then they celebrated Eucharist. I think we have lost that sense – because our celebration is so formalized. The church makes it clear that it’s not two separate things but one single act of divine worship. We eat the “Word.” The Word nourishes us. We are supposed to be fed at the table of the Word, as God speaks to us, which leads us to the table of the Eucharist, where we receive the body and blood of Christ.” - Archbishop Gregory AymondHoly Week - coming soon
