The Eucharist relies on us to be culture makers.14 Bread and wine are both realities that would not exist on their own, but earthly materials must be cultivated by human beings and require much time to create. In other words, just by wheat or grapes growing naturally, neither of these elements for the Eucharist will be created. Human beings, through their toil, and over a period of time experimenting to perfect the craft, have made bread and wine.
Mmm but isn’t it also from God? Bread and juice ultimately come from creation and we are given the ability to create.
