It weaves Old Testament texts including the tree of life, Melchizedek, Passover, Manna, showbread, oblation, strong meal, shepherd, king, wisdom, banquet, and visions of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Zephaniah. It highlights New Testament texts like Bethlehem, Cana, five loaves, transfiguration, invited guests, Maundy Thursday, Emmaus, breaking bread. It offers ritualistic contemplations on incense, lamb, word, advents, icons, connecting it to spiritual life via repentance, faith, love, fasting, shaping the Eucharistic human. Communicants are considered saints, their joy completed by others repentance.
