It has been stated that we need to eat to live. If you eat Christ you will get spiritually fed. When I eat Christ in the Eucharist, I become little by little like the One that I eat. Hrm.. All this Eucharist talk makes me want to consume the body of Christ. It's pretty early I wander if my nearest Christ dealer is open. Well we are what we eat.

Hrm.. All this Eucharist talk makes me want to consume the body of Christ. It’s pretty early I wander if my nearest Christ dealer is open.

The Eucharist overcomes the problem of signification because it is the most unified site of meaning (transcendence and immanence are brought together). Christ's gift of death is given to us for life. Pickstock does not think that the Eucharist is a reenactment of the cross, nor do I. Um we are talking about signs here.

Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the father.(Rom. 6) The Eucharist does not represent or embody the glory of the father. "Knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more."(Rom. 6) The concept of the Eucharist suggests a reenactment of the cross. It is not a reenactment but a memorial.
