“THIS IS MY BODY”
Jesus took bread, blessed it, broke it and gave it to his friends saying:
Take this all of you and eat it
This is my body which is given for you
For life and health and happiness
This is my body, my blood, life pumping around by body for you
This meal is my day’s work for you
This is my sweat for you
This meal is a reminder that I was taken from heaven, blessed with a family and friends, broken on the cross and given for you so you will be taken, blessed, broken like bread and given for others
For life, for love.
This meal, this sacrifice of self for others was always about love, never duty or obligation
Love—unconditional love.
