August 27 / I Cor. 11:23-34

I Corinthians 11:23-34

For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. (v. 26) As I read today’s reading I picture myself at St. Andrew’s during our Eucharistic celebration. I see the host being lifted and Jay speaking Jesus’ words, then the same for the chalice. Then I picture myself going forward for communion. All this is the epitome of the sacramental aspect of our “Three Streams” theology, what we often refer to as the “Catholic Stream”, which was so important to me in my early Christian formation. And picturing all that I call to mind Mark Royster’s Lenten Three Streams teaching on the Sacramental Stream. It was powerful. I would encourage you all to watch his video presentation on the Sacramental stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T51XNmSz43U. (After introductory prayer and comments, Mark’s teaching begins almost 11 minutes into the video.) Worthy…!

Nothing more to say…
