Sisters Modesta Arceneau (front) and Lisa Rose prepare the gifts for Eucharist. |
In his book titled "One Great Act of
Fidelity", Ronald Rolheiser says the following about the
Eucharist: "The Eucharist is meant to send us out into the world, ready to
give expression to Christ's hospitality, humility and self-effacement."
As I read this quote, I remind myself that as a follower of Christ, I am to
serve as Christ served. At the same time, as a follower of Christ, I am to
serve for Christ in today's world. Receiving the Eucharist strengthens me to be
Christ for the people I meet every day. At Saint Benedict's Monastery, we
celebrate the Eucharist every day and receive this spiritual nourishment.
If

Rose at lrose@csbsju.edu.
