On the night before he died, Jesus sat down with his disciples and what he found there was what we too find whenever we go to church: a sincere bunch of people struggling not to let the jealousies, irritations, self-preoccupations, and wounds of life drive them apart. We come to church and to the Eucharist to ask God to do for us what we cannot do for ourselves: love each other.
