Early Christians on the Holy Eucharist

Thank you.

What a good article! It always bothers me so much when I see a church where people treat the Blessed Sacrament like a piece of furniture: that is, they just sort of bop around, making no signs of reverence at all. I've all too often seen priests do this, as well. Of course, I guess at least having a visible Tabernacle counts for something, even if people don't know how to act. Churches where you can't even find the Blessed Sacrament are a sad but common feature of modern Catholicism.

This article should be published in its entirety in parish bulletins throughout the country!

"Christ is not relative to Heaven, Heaven is relative to Christ. So Christ is not in Heaven, Heaven is in Christ, Heaven is wherever Christ is. And Christ is still here, in the Church and especially in the Eucharist. If you want to understand the Church, you have to see her as primarily a Heavenly reality."

This is one of the most brilliant and inspiring excerpts of the entire article.

Thank you for the ping.

God bless,
