Not from the Pulpit: Fr Joseph Sobb SJ
Didache – Teaching
This is a translation of part of an early Christian text (second century) which seems to have been used in the celebration of the Eucharist.
"Let no one eat or drink of your Eucharist, unless they have been baptised into the name of the Lord."
Father, we thank you who have planted your holy Name within our hearts.
Knowledge and faith and life eternal
Jesus your Son to us imparts.
You, Lord, have make all for your glory, did give us food for all our days, giving in Christ the Bread eternal; yours is the power, be yours the praise.
Watch o'er your church, O Lord, in mercy, save it from evil, guard it still.
Perfect it in your love, unite it, cleansed and conformed unto your will.
As grain, once scattered on the hillsides, was in this broken bread made one, so from all lands your church be gathered into your kingdom by our Son.
