I was brought up on Dom Gregory Dix's understanding of the felicity of the Eucharistic Celebration, and to be starved of its benefits - even for the 13 days of our Cruise - was a radical experience of deprivation, relieved only by the prospect of its healing grace and power when tomorrow arrives and I can join together with the "Two or Three" gathered together in Christ's Name at the Mass. There is no substitute here on earth for the Bread of Heaven that only Christ can give.

It's truly one of the very best attempts at re-situating the Meal back into its 1st C Jewish setting, thereby undercutting all subsequent theories, Augustinian, Aristotelian, Cranmerian, Zwinglian, Tractarian, etc.Bryden Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15619512328964399016noreply@blogger.com
