With the readings today not being
inspirational, let’s us imagine ourselves reclining with Jesus at the Last
Supper. Let us allow Jesus to lead us through the three parts of the blessing
he offered that night.
He begins by asking us to join him in
thankfully recalling all the blessings we have received since the last time.
As the second part of the his table blessing, he prays that
God should make himself sensibly present
to us, so that we can speak with him.
As the third part of his table blessing, Jesus gives himself
to the Father as a pleasing gift, and he asks us to become part of that gift by
mentally offering ourselves to tnhe Father; and then by giving himself to us in
Communion, he makes us also physically one with him in his sweet gift of
himself to the Father.
