I watched the video clip of Father Keating commenting about the Eucharist. Jesus issued a two-way invitation: I will dine with you, identifying with you, and ask the same from you. This clip took me back to a snowy January in Snowmass, CO, participating in a 10-day retreat and taking Eucharist twice daily alongside Father Keating and the rest of the monks. I couldn’t grasp the full reality at the time, so overwhelmingly welcoming as it was, yet I was truly beholding what I am, becoming what I receive.
I had to leave the Snowmass table and move back into my world, equipped to see Christ in the people, tasks and events that awaited me. Seeing Christ in those closest to me and in daily tasks allows joy and deep contentment to well up from my Christ center into them. Contemplative practices keep that wellspring open and flowing. <3 linda
