Transformation








Eucharist is a wondrous celebration of transformation

Beginning with works of human hands...

Calling forth the infusion of Jesus...

Creating the Kingdom of God...

A kernel of wheat

Yields abundant grains

Gathered

Crushed

Into one

Transformed to bread.

A pruned vine

Yields abundant grapes

Gathered

Crushed

Into one

Transformed to wine.


During Seder
Jesus embraces bread and wine
Continues their transformation
Naming this nourishment
His Body and Blood
One.

Believers gather
Offer bread and wine
Again made sacred
Shared transformation
Eucharist
Enabling His presence
Nourished
Becoming
One.

Awesome!
