Father Mick explores the connections between the Jewish celebration of Passover and the central mystery of the Christian liturgy, the Eucharist, acknowledging parallel meanings but stressing the unique identity and character of each to their respective faiths. "Our God is a God of freedom and life," Father Mick writes. "Both Christians and Jews celebrate God's saving love and thus commit themselves to imitating that love. That's the deepest meaning of both Passover and Eucharist."
