I want all of the holiness of the Eucharist to spill out beyond church walls, out of the hands of priests and into the regular streets and sidewalks, into the hands of regular, grubby people like you and me, onto our tables, in our kitchens and dining rooms and backyards.”<br /><br />-- Shauna Niequist<br />"Bread and Wine: A Love Letter to Life Around the Table with Recipes"
