The typical parting
greeting is usually “See you soon,” however one time while on mission, a co-missionary
of mine said to me, “See you in the Eucharist!” I find it more beautiful!
Indeed we always feel
and see each other when we celebrate and receive the Eucharist. It is a real
sign of a real presence that transcends physical presence bringing us to a
profound reality that in Christ we are one. We are one in a relationship that
goes beyond physical presence. All our longings and desires, hopes and dreams
joins together to the One who is the source of it all, thereby allowing us to
experience a relationship that is more complete and real.
Isn’t it beautiful that
a relationship can go beyond physical needs of being together always towards a
greater understanding that it can be nurtured with a deeper union that is
spiritual? I would like to believe that a deeper understanding of the Eucharist
would help so many struggling relationships.
So until then, “See you
in the Eucharist!”
