Communion Liturgy

Last night, Matt led us through a liturgy as we celebrated communion, receiving the body and blood of Christ through the elements of bread and wine (well, juice). As he described it, "formal" liturgy is like falling in love - dive into it, ponder it, ask questions of it, probe the meaning of the words. If the analogy is a little uncertain for you, talk to Matt about it. Either way, the liturgy is an amazing way to connect with the language and history of the saints throughout the ages of Christianity. If you want a very detailed look at the history of "liturgy", check out the liturgy entry at the Catholic Encyclopedia.

The liturgy we used is as a PDF file and can be viewed here.
