Friends of the Rosary,
Christ Jesus revealed to us (John 6:51–58), as we read yesterday in the New Testament,
“My flesh is true food,
and my blood is true drink.
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.”
When we eat this flesh and drink his blood in the Eucharist, we unite with Him and become his image on Earth. Or, at least, that is or should be our goal.
We are what we eat. The Eucharist touches our souls, and by receiving Him, we declare that we want to grow in holiness and become saints.
The Holy Host immortalizes those faithful who consume it.
Christifies us, and not in a metaphorical way.
The Doctrine of the Real Presence is a universal truth critical for our survival.
The recipient of the Communion sees — or should see — how his life should be transformed in body, mind, emotions, and spirit. He becomes ordered to the realm of God.
Bishop Barron wrote yesterday,
“The Christified person knows that his life is not finally about him but about God; the Eucharistized person understands that her treasure is to be found above and not below.”
Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
