This morning at Mass as I heard the words,
“This is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world,” I was reminded that
we are looking upon the very same Jesus who suffered for us, who died and rose again, leaving us
His physical presence in the Eucharist.
If He were to come back to us in bodily form and we could see and hear Him speak at some large venue, how
many would flock, as they do to some rock musician?

If so many believe as they profess to, why
are not our churches overflowing? His
Gift to us is free and as we get closer to Holy Week, we should consider taking
advantage of this miracle to us in our daily life, and not wait til the
Resurrection!
Reflecting
upon the Lord’s Supper, Pope Benedict XVI wrote: “At the Last Supper, Jesus
entrusts to His disciples the sacrament which makes present His self-sacrifice
for the salvation of us all, in obedience to the Father’s will.”
We cannot receive
His Body and Blood without being changed
if we are open in the deepest recesses of our heart, to this great Sacrifice.
