40 Days with Still: Day 23, March 16, 2012

Purim
After Purim, the Eucharist

Perhaps, Winner says, "we live in a time when it is possible for God to remain hidden." However, "to abide in God's hiddenness is one thing, to abide in God's absence is altogether something else" (p. 115). What is the distinction between God's hiddenness and God's absence? How are we to abide in God's hiddenness?

Throughout Still, Winner recounts being spiritually sustained by the Eucharist. What have your experiences of the Eucharist been? Have you had an experience of being sustained by the Eucharist?

For tomorrow: please read 117-120

The Eucharist is so many different things to me: sustenance, comfort, fortification, fulfillment, intimacy, and presence. Each week it is different. Isn't that remarkable? Each of us comes to the table with whatever we are and we share and we are transformed.
