A Eucharistic Parable

Ben - who hosts one of the most theologically insightful blogs around - posted the following little parable entitled "Eucharistic tears". I think his instinct to post it without comment was right on - so here it is:

At my local parish, young children are allowed to receive the bread at
Communion. But this morning our rector was away, and the visiting priest
followed the usual Anglican procedure of giving the children a blessing instead
of bread. I didn’t really notice this until my family had returned to our pew –
when we had sat down, my three-year-old daughter burst into tears and exclaimed
loudly: “But where’s my body of Christ?”
