Pope Francis has challenged Catholics to consider if they allow their lives to be transformed by Christ’s presence in the Eucharist.
Speaking yesterday to a congregation of about 20,000 people, on the Feast of Corpus Christi outside the Basilica of St John Lateran, Pope Francis encouraged Catholics to ask if the Eucharist is a “moment of true communion with the Lord, but also with my many brothers and sisters who share at this same altar?” and if when “adoring Christ truly present in the Eucharist, do I allow myself to be transformed by him.
We come to the church to be nourished or is it an obligation? Have you ever noticed the people there with you? Some dressed nicely and some old torn in jeans but all are there. Lady next to me says I cant see anything as I have macular degeneration. Yet she comes and prays her heart out. Greets me warmly with hand shake at kiss of peace.
Babies crying, does that bother you? Jesus said bring the children to me.
Jesus died for all of us, no matter our state in life, our salary, or accomplishments or lack of these. What I like is at communion we all come equally in need of nourishment. He also said do this in remembrance of me. Could that mean I also give my life for others that they may have life.
I don't think we need to look for them this week, if we are serious God will send them to us!!
Be ready
