Each year when our faith formation teachers are giving the First Communion Class their retreat, I gather with their parents for a session on the meaning of the sacrament that their children are about to receive. After a little introduction, I ask them if they have taken their children to dine with Jesus and to see God. Some look puzzled, while others realize that I am speaking about the Mystery of the Eucharistic Liturgy.
