Today’s Reflection
We are what we remember, with commitment and a determination born of knowing what we dare not forget. . . . In spirituality, everything depends on remembering and re-remembering. The only Jesus we have is the remembered one.
—W. Paul Jones, The Art of Spiritual Direction: Giving and Receiving Spiritual Guidance (Upper Room Books, 2002)

Today’s Question
We remember Jesus during communion and we, the church, become his body on earth. How else does the church both remember Jesus and become Jesus in the world? Join the conversation.

Then he took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
