communion

 

communion

Christian: A sacrament in which bread and wine are partaken as symbols of Jesus’ body and blood, in commemoration of Jesus dying for our sins on the cross. ACIM: Communication, the joining or sharing of minds. Jesus states that he would not share his body with us, because it was meaningless; and that his death was not a payment for sin (see crucifixion and Atonement). He says, however, that he will share his mind with us, in the holy instant and in the holy relationship. See T-7.V.10:7-12, T-19.IV(A).16-17.
