United at the table

Holy Communion is a communal meal. We rejoice from the depths of our souls that the good Lord not only wants to save me, but that He does exactly the same for my brother and sister, and that He wants to do exactly the same thing for my neighbor. That is also a joy. When we celebrate Holy Communion, we acknowledge: What unites us is much, much, much, much greater than what divides us; you sometimes forget.

Brothers and sisters, when we celebrate Holy Communion in the congregation we confess: This is the most important thing! What unites us is more important than what divides us. That is the message of Holy Communion. (CA Schneider, Germany 2023)
