As someone who grew up in a liturgical tradition, I’ve always found the act of taking communion to be deeply, deeply meaningful.

There’s something powerful about physically participating in this ancient ritual that connects us to Christ’s sacrifice. I especially appreciate how it engages multiple senses - the taste of the bread and wine, the touch of receiving the elements, the visual symbols. For me, it’s a tangible expression of God’s healing grace and forgiveness that goes beyond just intellectual understanding.

Cultivating a deeper appreciation for the healing power of communion in our daily lives involves extending its principles beyond formal church settings. Here are some ways to do this:

  1. Practice mindful eating: Approach meals with reverence, acknowledging the nourishment they provide and the connections they foster.

  2. Share meals intentionally: Regularly invite friends, family, or neighbors to share food and conversation, creating a sense of community.

  3. Serve others: Volunteer at food banks or community kitchens to extend the spirit of communion to those in need.

  4. Express gratitude: Before eating, take a moment to reflect on and appreciate the source of your food and those who prepared it.

  5. Create rituals: Establish meaningful practices around meals, such as lighting candles or saying a blessing, to infuse them with deeper significance.

  6. Practice active listening: During conversations, especially while sharing food, focus on truly hearing and understanding others.

  7. Embrace diversity: Seek out opportunities to share meals with people from different backgrounds, fostering understanding and unity.

  8. Be present: Minimize distractions during meals to fully engage with the food and those around you.

  9. Reflect on interconnectedness: Consider how your food choices impact others and the environment, fostering a sense of global communion.

  10. Extend forgiveness: Use mealtimes as opportunities to heal relationships and practice reconciliation.

By incorporating these practices, we can extend the healing and unifying power of communion into our everyday lives, creating a more connected and compassionate world.

(As someone who’s struggled with chronic pain), I’ve found taking communion to be a meaningful reminder of Christ’s healing presence. There’s something deeply comforting about physically partaking in His broken body and shed blood, even when my symptoms persist.

It helps me refocus on His ultimate sacrifice and (re-center my hope) in His redemptive work, rather than getting discouraged by my circumstances.

Just as the Israelites were healed by gazing upon the bronze serpent, partaking in communion allows us to look upon Christ’s sacrifice and receive His healing balm for body and soul.

The physical act of taking communion reminds me that Christ’s healing power isn’t just abstract - it’s tangible and available to us in real, everyday ways if we approach it with faith and openness.
