Have any of you ever been to a shrine or seen remains of a saint preserved, like Saint Clare or the many other saints? You are in awe of the sight; it is so amazing to see a saint right before your eyes. But you would agree that if you saw Christ walk into your room, it would be a more amazing sight. Did you know that you could see him every day of the year, and you would actually be able to touch him every day of the year expect Good Friday? It is that real.
Have you ever thought of the suffering of Christ and his crucifixion? I am sure you have a cross or a picture of it. That is the same body blood soul and divinity you receive every time you go to mass. That is his Sacred Heart, that is his hand or foot which was driven with a nail, or that is his blessed head which was pierced with thorns you receive.
If you are having trouble with realizing the real presence, and you are not alone, I would suggest spiritual reading before you go to mass that talks about the presence of Christ in Communion. I know it helped me a lot too.
Dominus Vobiscum.
