Today at The Master’s Artist I consider how we as believers offer our art as a sacrament.

A taste:

We kneel at the altar, our hands cupped, palms up to receive the sacrament. The priest presses a wafer onto my fingers.

"The body of Christ, the bread of heaven," he says.

I lift the wafer to my tongue, crack it between my teeth.

A white-clad chalice bearer follows the priest. She dips the cup to my lips. "The blood of Christ, the cup of salvation."

The
wine rinses the bits of wafer from my mouth, washes down my throat.
With bowed head, I cross myself, lingering for a moment before
returning to my pew.

In this way, with a community of believers
(and, most likely, unbelievers), I experience the presence of God.
This, in essence, is what the sacraments are: the presence of God. In
turn, as a member of the Body of Christ, I am called to live
sacramentally so as to incarnate Christ’s presence in the world around
me.
