'Communion is the making present of Christ in our community' -Nouwen

What a reminder of what Christ is supposed to be during our communion services. So many times we take the Eucharist without ever really recognizing what its significance is for our specific time and place. Why is it that the these traditions of church become overbearing rituals, instead of life giving rejuvenations of the spirit of the community. I pray that I will continue to view the Eucharist as a time when Jesus is physically present in the community around me.
