"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so"... ~~William Shakespeare~~The Eucharist is not simply a meal; it is really and truly the Body and Blood of Christ. It is also the sacrifice that changes our lives. The sacrifice of young bulls that we read about in the Hebrew Bible changed the lives of those who offered that sacrifice. The Gospel of the day repeats the words heard at each Eucharist: “This is my body...this is my blood.” Jesus pointed to his blood as “life,” the source of new life for those who receive it.

The first Sunday after Pentecost is the Festival of the Holy Trinity. On this day, the church rejoices in the impenetrable mystery that God is triune (three-in-one) -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. How the Lord can be one God in three distinct persons is completely beyond the ability of any human to understand. By the power of the Holy Spirit, Christians accept this incomprehensible mystery as a fundamental article of faith.
