During that presentation, I invite people to think about those whom they consider have done unforgivable things. And then I ask them to envision these people around the table of the eucharist and somehow to imagine that the immensity of God&#8217;s reconciling love is too vast and too deep for us to come close to grasping. I told them that I believe this is one of the most challenging aspects of the eucharist; I asked them to ponder what it was that Jesus did with Peter around that charcoal fire on the seashore following the resurrection. Peter, this &#8220;rock,&#8221; who only days before said about the Lord, &#8220;I don&#8217;t even know the man,&#8221; is now reconciled around this charcoal fire with bread and fish on it with the words, &#8220;Simon, Son of John, do you love me more than these?&#8221; Scholars have often pointed to this little charcoal breakfast fire with bread and fish on it as a kind of eucharistic meal. Who do you need to be reconciled with around that charcoal fire?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jerry Galipeau reflects on \u201cone of the most challenging aspects of Eucharist.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[19,17],"tags":[3009,687,272,2329],"class_list":["post-19695","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mass","category-liturgical-spirituality","tag-mass","tag-forgiveness","tag-jerry-galipeau","tag-reconciliation"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
