style=\"text-align: center;\"><i>John 6:35<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote><p>Axiom participants are invited to live the flow of encounter and embrace. Crafted by God\u2019s love, each one of us is a unique expression of the Trinity\u2019s love and life, itself a picture of the eternal God\u2019s embrace.\u00a0We take time each day in encountering God to engage with the One who sustains all life. In such encounters we seek to discover more of the truth and reality of God, ourselves and the world within which we live. We become refreshed and re-energised. Such moments clarify our call and strengthen our resolve in following closely in the footsteps of Jesus. Embraced by The Lord, we return to incarnate, or \u2018flesh out\u2019 the reality of love\u2019s embrace \u00a0throughout the earth.<\/p><p>The only way God was able to communicate his love to humanity was itself through an act of incarnation. Stepping from his eternal encounter and embrace within the Trinity, Jesus literally squeezed himself into the body of a man, and chose freely to live among us. At first hand women and men, old and young, poor and rich, encountered the very reality of God in person. Eventually executed for no greater crime than loving people, Jesus\u2019 arms were stretched out upon a crude wooden gibbet in readiness to embrace a lost and broken humanity, including both you and me.<\/p><p>In like manner we are now invited and commissioned to return from that Divine embrace, our daily moments of encounter, and live out a life of love in the service of others, Emancipating those oppressed by circumstances beyond their immediate control, and through such acts of service extend God\u2019s embrace to those living at the margins of our\u00a0society, be they down the street or around the world.<\/p><p><em>Thoughts from Dr. Micha Jazz<\/em><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><blockquote><p><strong>\u201cThe heart of God is an open wound of Love. \u00a0He aches over our distance and

And AWE came upon every soul.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/i><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i>Acts 2: 42,43<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>What do the movies like \u201cBraveheart,\u201d \u201cGladiator,\u201d and \u201cThe Last Samurai\u201d have in common? They all have awe inspiring moments of extreme acts of honor that hold us spellbound; honor for love of country, or the love of a woman and family. They call out to an appetite in all of us to extend extravagant honor to what is most worthy of our time, attention and lives. However if you\u2019re anything like me there\u2019s plenty of other things that war for the affections of my heart that are not even worth my acknowledgment, but sometimes still get it. Therefore can we recapture a profound act of honor, uttered from the lips of Jesus the night before He died, in a culture intoxicated with all things temporary and trivial? Can we find this act worthy of our time in our often busy, cluttered lives?<\/p><h2><i>Our need for the Eucharist<\/i><\/h2><p>What do we do when we feel inadequate to cope with the complexities and ambiguities of our lives and our loves? \u00a0What do we do when we need power from beyond us to bring about a love, a wholeness and a peace which we cannot give ourselves? \u00a0We can touch the hem of Christ\u2019s garment. \u00a0We can celebrate the Eucharist. \u00a0In it we are inexplicably given peace and strength because in that ritual God holds us to His heart.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><blockquote><p><strong>\u201cLike love, the Eucharist does not need to be fully understood or explained, it needs only to be touched. \u00a0In the Eucharist, as in love, the main thing is that we are held\u201d.<\/strong><br \/>\u2013 Ronald Rolheiser<\/p><\/blockquote><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The scriptural story of the woman who touched the hem of Christ\u2019s garment provides a paradigm for this. \u00a0That woman, we are told, had been suffering from internal bleeding for many years. \u00a0During those years she had tried everything within her power to come to healing. \u00a0Nothing had worked. \u00a0All her efforts had served only to worsen her state and leave her fatigued and discouraged. \u00a0Finally, with her own resources spent and all that was humanly in view exhausted, she decided she would sneak up and touch Christ. \u00a0A she touched Him, she felt power flow into her. \u00a0She became whole.<\/p><p>True Communion is to touch and be touched by God. \u00a0There is an embrace that far exceeds what can be explained biologically or psychologically. \u00a0Power is transmitted through love that goes beyond rational understanding.<\/p><p>That is why after Jesus spent all His words, He left us the Eucharist. \u00a0That is why after we have spent all our words, we should celebrate the Eucharist. \u00a0When our words, decisions and actions are inadequate to relieve the aching in our hearts, we need the embrace of our Father, and friend who is God. \u00a0This happens in Holy Communion.<\/p><h2><i>Thoughts on the Eucharist by Dr. Micha Jazz<\/i><\/h2><p>Eucharist is a Greek word meaning thanksgiving. It offers us the chance to celebrate the meal Jesus requested we keep in memory of the final time he ate with his disciples before his crucifixion and resurrection. It symbolizes the place of healing and recovery for humanity, providing a place of reflection, confession, restoration, and future hope. We become what we eat and grow in that divine love that inspires acts of service in the the relief of suffering.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><blockquote><p><strong>The Eucharist is\u2026us being there together breaking bread and recognising the life of Jesus and the spirit that works within our community at the Eucharistic table; there\u2019s a connectedness with the table of hospitality.\u2028 Look, it\u2019s our nourishment, it\u2019s where we gain our energy from. People themselves nourish each other they draw strength from one another and\u2026It just seems to be what connects us together.\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Mary Ann Howell<\/p><\/blockquote><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Catholics will celebrate the Mass each week and so this is their weekly Eucharist. However, many Non Conformist churches don\u2019t and often meet informally, usually midweek on a Wednesday, for a brief celebration of the communion meal. This does not exclude Catholics, however they may choose not to participate in the actual communion. Communion draws people together in remembering Christ\u2019s death and resurrection. It\u2019s an opportunity to read scripture together, share stories and engage in meditation and prayer for others.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><blockquote><p><strong>\u2018But the final word is love. At times it has been a harsh and dreadful thing and our very faith has been tried through fire.\u2028 We cannot know God unless we love each other and to love him we must know each other. We know him in the breaking of the bread and we know each other in the breaking of the bread and we are not alone any more. Heaven is a banquet and life is a banquet too, even with a crust, when there is companionship.\u2019\u2028<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Dorothy Day<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote><h2><strong><i>Prayer of Commitment<\/i><\/strong><\/h2><p>\u201cOh Lord, ever ancient, ever new\u2014we commit to walk this path together with the scars and wounds of our Lord forever before our eyes. \u00a0Your marks are
