Quotes by William T. Cavanaugh (?)

“To consume the Eucharist is an act of anticonsumption, for here to consume is to be consumed, to be taken up into participation in something larger than the self, yet in a way in which the identity of the self is paradoxically secured.”
― William T. Cavanaugh, Being Consumed: Economics and Christian Desire

“The way you buy has a lot to do with the way you worship and who you worship and what you worship.”
― William T. Cavanaugh

“Consumerism is a restless spirit that is never content with any particular material thing. In this sense, consumerism has some affinities with Christian asceticism, which counsels a certain detachment from material things. The difference is that, in consumerism, detachment continually moves us from one product to another, whereas in Christian life, asceticism is a means to a greater attachment to God and to other people. We are consumers in the Eucharist, but in consuming the body of Christ we are transformed into the body of Christ, drawn into the divine life in communion with other people. We consume in the Eucharist, but we are thereby consumed by God.”
― William T. Cavanaugh, Being Consumed: Economics and Christian Desire
