Worldly trajectory of the Eucharist -- Discerning a surplus of meaning -- Eating with the hungry and the outcast -- Banquet of God's vulnerable creation -- Economy of grace -- Holding all things in common -- Eucharistic limitations -- Three homilies.
The Eucharist is not about purely spiritual relationships, but has implications for concrete social action with and for marginalized people. This book looks at the practice of Jesus and the early Church. There are frequent references to the lectionary, and three homilies are included.
In Still Hungry at the Feast, Episcopal priest and professor Samuel Torvend invites readers to expand their experience and understanding of the Mass, the Holy Eucharist, as more than a personal encounter with the risen Christ. Drawing on recent Jesus research, the long history of eucharistic justice, Still Hungry at the Feast involves the integral relationship between eucharistic peace and eucharistic mission. Here the ecumenical pattern and meaning of the Mass opens toward care for our wounded creation, solidarity with poor and outcast, keeping the fast, and recovering a eucharistic economy. Lectionary references will assist those charged with liturgical preparation, while preachers and catechsists will find guidance in the eucharistic homilies that conclude the book.
