The transubstantiation takes place only at the Celebration of Mass. This is where the risen Savior is, in the consecrated bread and wine. Such was the practice BEFORE the Bible was assembled and ha been for over 2000 years.
If you think about it, Jesus willingly steps into the role of humble servant once again as we “behold the Mystery.”
Was on FB this morning and saw “resurrection biscuits”. You make biscuits, or rolls, with a marshmallow inside. The marshmallow explodes and disappears leaving a biscuit that is empty inside. I can’t wait to try it.
I know, I am weird. ;^)
Unless Fr. Kissinger went to one of the old Communion-once-every-three-months LCMS churches, he didn’t need to become a Jesuit to understand the necessity of the Eucharist—not that it’s a problem, I just hope he is an orthodox and not a heterodox Jesuit :-)
Seriously, in my 26 years in the LCMS I have seen the churches in my area, and the ones where my son has lived (IN, IL, WI), returning to their roots in relation to the Eucharist, going from once-a-quarter or once-a-month to every Sunday. Some of it came from the laity experiencing Lutheran versions of Cursillo in the 80s and 90s, also from younger members wanting the strength of Christ that comes from the receiving of Christ. What makes me pleased with this is that the pressure to expand the providing of the Eucharist has come up from the laity, not something that was imposed upon the laity by the clergy.

Jesus died in vain on Friday and raised to life today in vain
1 Cor 15:1-4...Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Just where do you guys get this stuff, a magic 8 ball??? You certainly don't get it from the scriptures...
The word eucharist is not even in the bible.
The risen Savior lives in the hearts of those who put their trust in Him, not in a wheat wafer confected at the hands of men.
He promised that where two or three are gathered in His name, that He would be there in their midst.
One doesn’t need to go anywhere to meet with their Savior and the Creator of the universe who is omnipresent. If it’s on the beach, so be it.
I’ve had far more meaningful meetings with God on the beach than I have ever had inside a church building, including and especially, the cold, impersonal, formalism of Catholicism.
Interestingly, Jesus met with His followers many a time on the beach.
Odd that you should criticize people for going there to meet Him.
Mighty bold statement for a one-eyed fat man!
