The Eucharist is the sacrament of Christ's presence, his real presence. Here he comes to us in bread and wine, through outward and material signs that are accessible to all. This is an expression of infinite grace. However, when Jesus gives himself to us, we are called to share ourselves and what we have with others. Thus, the Eucharist also becomes the sacrament of fellowship and unity. It is a sacrament in and for our wounded world, a sacrament of life in the widest sense. The reflections in this book are grounded in the Lutheran tradition, combined with an open ecumenical approach. They aim at unfolding some of the wealth of the Lord's Supper in a concise and accessible way.
