When we come to the life-giving chalice on Sunday morning, we come in the totality of who we are and all that we have done. We stand at the chalice marked by the experiences of the past week—with all our sins, all our brokenness, all our ongoing struggles, all our spiritual victories. To experience the fullness of the Lord’s saving presence at that holy moment and to find healing for our sinful brokenness and strength for future victories, we need to be fully there.
