Receiving gifts

In Christian tradition, the sacrament of the Last Supper is a remembrance of Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross. The different denominations do not agree on the theology behind the actual substance of the bread and wine received. As a Catholic, I believe it to be, through the grace of God, the actual Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus being received each time in the Eucharist. The theology behind this can be tough to explain. The point of all this is that as Christians we understand that there are gifts that we receive that can't possibly be imitated. In class, there was a discussion on how consuming food was this great gift. I would not recommend a Sacramental approach to food. I would recommend however that there needs to be a greater care for food and how we consume because of the great gift it is. Christians must once again be at the front of the change in the world's perception of food. It is a gift, not anything we deserve, only through the love of God do we have it.
