Sine dominico non possumus

When one of the 49 Abitanae martyrs was questioned before being executed about why they had not obeyed the Emperor Diocletian’s edict forbidding Christians from gathering and celebrating the Eucharist, he answered simply: Sine dominico non possumus. Without this thing of the Lord we cannot exist.

Sunday we were blessed to have LCEF photographer Lee Rohlf in our assembly witnessing Christians STILL living from this thing of the Lord some 1717 years later, and joining in that anonymous martyr’s testimony: we cannot live without the Eucharist.
