Don’t you understand that God wants you to approach Him? He created us for fellowship with Him. He allows us to come right into His throne room, at the foot of His throne, and make our petitions known directly to Him thru Jesus. We are made righteous by Jesus and have access to the great I AM! Why would you not want that? This is the one and only way we are made acceptable to God and are allowed into His presence. Jesus is at the right hand of the Father constantly interceding on behalf of the saints.

Do not let anything or anyone keep you from this wonderful privilege. Shout it from the roof tops as loud as you can. I am God’s child and was bought with an enormous price. And my simple belief in this sacrifice has given me direct access to the very throne of God Almighty, and every other privilege and honor and rights of heaven are mine.

I will rule and reign with Him over the nations when He comes again. What could there possibly be in the Catholic church or in any other earthly place that can compare?

I do do that. I've attended daily Mass since 1984. That's a whole lot of Jesus right there. :)

We have Christ in the Eucharist.

Is this in Luther's Bible?

"Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him" (John 6:53–56).

For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. (1 Cor 11:27-30)
