what does the eucharist mean to you?

Most of us have celebrated our first Eucharist as small children.  There was a sense of excitement as we dressed in special clothing and prepared for the time with prayer and study.
 
Now as grownups our understanding of Eucharist has grown deeper.  We know it means much more.  By our participation in Eucharist we know we are to be Christ in the world.  We are to be the hands, feet and voice of Jesus.  The Eucharist gives us the courage to be what we need to be.  We reach out to others in love. We love in words, in action, in thoughts always committed to the common good.   We are to change the world by our commitment to the Eucharist.
