when we take Communion, we mysteriously feast with all those who are in Christ.4 In the Eucharist we commune with Dorothy Day and Saint Augustine, the apostle Paul and Billy Graham, Flannery O’Connor and my own grandmother. One day we will all feast together, in the flesh, with Christ himself. Hopefully Rebekka and I will be seated near each other, and near the butter. We profoundly need each other. We are immersed in the Christian life together. There is no merely private faith—everything we are and do as individuals
Really?? We coo mine with humans who have died? Don’t understand this.
