We are now led to the altar table, symbol of Christ in our midst. Special care was given to its construction. Sacrificial and banquet aspects were considered in the design. Beautiful wood evokes aspects of the sacred banquet and a reminder that our faith is not hard, cold and unyielding, but alive, warm, caring and growing. Chiseled sides convey the image of sacrifice. The stone under the altar symbolizes the rock upon which our Church is founded (Mt 16:18), God's never ending love for us. It was inspired by the rock in front of the altar in the Church of All Nations in the Garden of Gethsemane (Mt 26:36-46, Mk 14:32-42, Lk 22:39-46) where Jesus prayed before His arrest and crucifixion.
