Table Fellowship

Today, in his homily, Felix Fernandes spoke about the table fellowship of Jesus. All the three readings of today (Wednesday, first week of Advent) deal with the topic of eating and drinking. And Jesus was deeply involved with the basic activity of being human, and he was called a glutton and a drunkard. He established his memory the Sacrament of the Eucharist at table, while eating and drinking. He makes himself present in a tangible way while we eat the bread and drink the cup. Can we become bread to others, can we become Jesus to others? This is the challenge of Christianity.
