The Family/Tribal Meal

Scott Hahn's The Lamb's Supper transitions, near the end, to observations about the familial nature of the Eucharistic gathering. Scott points out that we should aspire to spend eternity with every person who is gathered with us at Mass.

He acknowledges that this is problematic for many of us. I have speculated, as well, that this may be a great obstacle to our ability to enter the kingdom. This is why I remain convinced that we must know our own unworthiness of the place at the table which Christ has bestowed on us by His grace, so that we have the right attitude of humility concerning our brothers and sisters.
