One word struck a chord with me and colored the rest of the reading: unremembered.
"Do this to remember me," says Jesus. We all want to be remembered, to leave a legacy. However, we don't do this alone.
When we have communion, we are re-membered as the body of Christ for the world. We come together in order to further God's kingdom.
At camp, the adults read a book called Have a Little Faith by the Tuesdays with Morrie guy. Reb's main concern is that he be remembered, so that he doesn't have to "die a second death".
New Englanders have an expression that is new to me. If someone visits someone else that the congregation knows and loves, during parish concerns they will say, "So and so wants to be remembered to you." I like it.
