Quotes

The consumption of 
the animal is an indispensable element of the ritual. By means of this sacrificial meal, kinship ties are strengthened, and family and 
neighborly solidarity is promoted, while communion with God is established.

Nahum Sarna, JPS Torah Commentary: Exodus, p 55

 

… here’s what really ticks Jesus off about communion: he can’t stand people who hop up in the communion line every Sunday, receive his grace and then forget about the needy. And he doesn’t want people to unite their “remembrance of him” with acts of selfish indulgence.

Hugh Halter, Sacrilege, p 164

 

In the Christian scriptures, the term the body of Christ is used to refer equally to three things: the historical body of 
Jesus, the body of believers and 
the Eucharist.

Ronald Rolheiser, Our One Great Act of Fidelity, p 17
