God is the source of our nourishment. Our Lord’s invitation to “take and eat… take and drink” is a repeated one. In the Holy Eucharist, in the word read and proclaimed, in the assembly of the people of God, the dominion of God has come near. Rejoice! Your name is written in heaven. 

Scripture Reading: Luke 10:1-11, 16-20, Galatians 6:1-16, Psalm 66:1-9

Verstehen: to step so deeply into another person's understanding that you can meet them where they are at and empathize with them at the deepest possible level.
