Talk 11 - "Eucharist, Hope and Antiracism" | Know Justice, Know Peace: A Jesuit Antiracism Retreat Seeking God: A Jesuit Retreat Series
-
- Religion & Spirituality
The Eucharist, which is the source and summit of our faith, completely defies the logic of racism. Like the disciples on the road to Emmaus, Jesus’s breaking of the bread impulses us toward our community with renewed hope and consolation. Peter Bell reflects on letting the Body of Christ renew our antiracist commitment to one another.
Verses for Prayer: Luke 24:13-35 - The Walk to Emmaus
Reflection Questions:
How do I see myself moving from the muck and despair into action?
How might contemplating the Eucharist help me in my antiracist journey?
What do I need to give thanks for over the course of this retreat, what truth have my eyes been opened to?
Do I, like the disciples, need help to see Jesus at work in the world, and if so, how might I seek that help and be open to it?
