Jesus call us to into the radical act of remembrance. In a way, it is a call to civil disobedience, a countercultural call to depart from a world obsessed with living in the moment and shaping the future. He calls us to remember.
He whispers, “Remember that meal we shared? Remember how I broke that bread and fed you. Remember how I shared a cup that I promised would be my blood. Remember when I washed your feet? Remember our closeness, our intimacy. Remember what happened next?”
In our remembrance and reflection, we eventually drift back into the present, but perhaps we see “the moment” differently now. Perhaps we see it through a special knowing. We know that we are loved. We know we are spoken for. We know that Jesus is near to feed us, wash us, and heal us. We know. Yes. We know all we need to know.
