Daily Meditation: Knowing One Another in Christ

Friday October 11, 2013    Knowing One Another in Christ   Often we think that we first have to know and understand one another before we gather around the Eucharistic table.  Although it is good if those who share in the Body and Blood of Christ know one another personally, coming together regularly for the Eucharist can create a spiritual unity that goes far beyond the various levels of "knowing one another" in human ways.   As we enter together into the sacred mysteries of the death and resurrection of Jesus by participating in the Eucharist, we gradually become one body.  We truly come to know one another in Christ.     Comment on this Daily Meditation.   Visit our website for inspiration, resources, news, events, community.
