The Communion
The Communion, often called The Table of the Lord, is an enigma to many people. For the person not familiar with this ancient practice established by Jesus Christ on the night before His Crucifixion, it can seem a highly ritualistic event. The same is true for many Christians, thanks to the shrouding in mystery the Table of the Lord has received through the centuries. The tragic result is that a practice which Jesus intended to be a simple act of Remembrance and Faith has become neither simple nor faith-inspiring, and has been removed from the hands of those for whom it was intended: the ordinary man or woman seeking a closer relationship with God.
