EUCHARIST INVIATION
By Bobbi Salkeld

In the ritual of the Eucharist, we taste and imagine what is not yet realized. 

We think of a world where everyone treats the land as sacred.
We think of life-giving communities that care for the most vulnerable with a keen sense of compassion.
We think of all that is broken in our hearts, transformed and brought together for our wholeness. 

And so, we approach the elements of a crushed grape and harvested grain as places where we encounter the body of Christ – once broken, but gathered together again in the breath of new life we call resurrection. 

What is not yet realized is possible, and we live toward this hope. 

Listen to the story of the Lord’s Supper. 

Gathered around a table,
Jesus took bread, 
and, having blessed it, 
broke the bread.
Then Jesus gave it to his friends, saying, 
‘This is my body which is given for you. Eat it to remember me.’

 In the same way, Jesus took the wine. 
And, having given thanks, 
poured it out
and gave the cup to his friends, saying,
‘This cup is the renewed relationship with God, 
sealed with my blood, my very life.’ 
Take it. Share it.’ 

Let us pray. 
Creator God, present at this meal, 
the bread that we break and the cup that we share 
are places where our Saviour meets us 
moving with us toward a world
net yet fully realized. 
Broken, we are being made whole.
Poured out, we are filled with joy once again. 
Holy Spirit, bless these elements.
Amen.
