Monday Eucharist

"I contend," Droel says, "that the Eucharist can provide a perspective, a lens, a pair of glasses, a map, even an engine to give order and meaning to the seemingly isolated and routine events of life. My claim, of course, is invalid if Eucharist is synonymous only with Sunday worship. The Eucharist, as used here, is a Sunday-carried-through-to-Saturday dynamic what I call Monday Eucharist. Perhaps more importantly, the Monday part of Eucharist informs the hour of Sunday worship by providing it with a necessary context drawn from our everyday work and relationships on the job, around the home, and in our community and civic affairs. Thus, work and relationships provide the raw ingredients that make Sunday worship more than a morning respite from real life."
