How can our eucharistic practices affirm the blessings of heavenly food, blessed, broken, and shared with humanity in humility, when the very soil of earth is so depleted, poisoned, and owned by so few? Come celebrate eucharistic life on earth in gratitude for abundant life, reaffirming our power to take care of paradise.
