MAKING A FAMILY OUT OF STRANGERS: GOD’S WORK MAKING US HUMAN The poem by J. Janda St. Ignatius Collapses at the Altar speaks to both the mystery of the Eucharist and the amazing work of God in making us into the Body of Christ. This poem reminds us of the cost of communion and our vocation as human beings to reachout in love to all people of God. It challenges us to love and serve others and bring them into the family. Dr. Jones will use this poem as a templete for his teachings and meditations.
