Eternal Last Supper

Salvador Dali  "Eucharist"  c. 1955
 What do you see as the central focus in this masterpiece by Dali?  The setting is Christ and the disciples partaking of the eternal Eucharist--but note!  His finger points upward at his body--the earthly vessel and instrument for the Eucharist. 

We live in an age where a very high percentage of people claim they want "spirituality" and not the church.  But the church is the body of Christ, and within its company, the Eucharist rooted in its earthly life in Christ is forever given. 

Think on this.  The next time you take communion?  You join the eternal company of the heavenly banquet.  Instead of going back to the upper room--move ahead where Christ dwells forever,
