I have heard in Mass – ‘Receive who you are. Become what you receive: The Body of Christ.’ God is continually inviting us to participate in that becoming!
May we restore this sacred Body by dismantling vestiges of exclusivity that continue to diminish and marginalize one another at Christ’s table.
At which table do you find yourself sitting today? Who is excluded from that table? How many tables have you left feeling empty?
