Helping and Healing Moments of the Eucharist: Awareness of Those Gathered at the Table

Part I: Stories In the beginning of 2014, the news I was facing will remind me of the rest of the year. The young man who took part in my congregation deprived him of his life. I was shocked because I knew this young man in his teens. He was brought up by his grandparents. His mother entered and exited the facility due to various mental and drug related life difficulties. His father began his life early in the life of this young man. His neighbors have invited their children to be the same age as he, so he came to our church.

"We need to build a community around the table, communion, scriptures, which may be quite easy, I believe that the Communion of Communities is essential to the healing of places and the transformation of the world "I do not need priests," I said, "to get rid of the church." But I am very good in "great tradition" to use Catholic words called "local theologians" They need people who are formed and trained "...... They are like Abbott, living deeply in stories and traditions, they are deeply immersed in local stories, fellowship and dialogue - these It is a gift that we need. "

In her work on the Holy Spirit and trauma, Shirley Rambo said the Eucharist as a form of "witness" the participants reviewed the death of Christ and practiced the memorial. In the healing environment and sacred table we have the opportunity to remember the pain, the loneliness, the injured, the opportunity to endure it, and create a new ending.

When you approach the main table, what do you do? Treat, forgive, comfort and rest for your soul? In principle, there are more than we can propose and imagine. The main result of receiving the Eucharist at the main table is an intimate agreement with Jesus Christ, the Healer of our God and the Savior. As the nutrition of the body can be restored, the Eucharist strengthens us in charity and we will break more of the disorderly attachment to that creature and become more firmly rooted in the love of Christ We will make it possible. Are you eager for 'Bread of Life'?
