Communion does something. That sounds strange to me. I understand how I do something, take the
bread and eat it and the cup and drink it, but I don't see how God
does anything. You see, I first met God intellectually, only later personally. But I do not come to the table to learn something with my mind: I come to meet God. God and people meet at the table and something
happens. At the table, we touch eternity. At the table, God gives love, forgiveness,
acceptance and we receive. In prayer we go to
God. In Communion, God comes to us. We are not learning something,
or remembering something, but doing something–we are meeting God.
