Description
In this profound and beautiful reflection Henri Nouwen seeks a new understanding of Eucharist through the story of the disciples on their way to Emmaus, their encounter with Jesus, and how their eyes and hearts were opened in the breaking of the bread. A marvelous meditation on the meaning of the sacrament.
Nouwen is answering the questions: How can all of my life be Eucharistic, and how can the daily celebration of the Eucharist make it that way? Nouwen focuses on five main aspects of the Eucharistic celebration: loss, presence, invitation, communion and mission, with a particular attention to the spiritual movement from resentment to gratitude.
