Can our Praise and Thanksgiving be pure unless it be united with the ONE sacrifice of Christ? You may have learned to fear us, but I assure you that is what we do.. Indeed the very meaning of Eucharist is 'thanksgiving' And I rejoice that you give thanksgiving and praise to our Lord and...

The LORD appeared to Abraham by the terebinth of Mamre, as he sat in the entrance of his tent, while the day was growing hot. Looking up, he saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he ran from the entrance of the tent to greet them; and bowing to the ground, he said: "Sir, if I may...

Dear David, Thank you, Thats a much better tone :) I know that you love Jesus! I rejoice in that. How could I not? I love Him too and He loves both of us far more perfectly than we can possibly love each other.. What other 'pure offering' than the LIVING Lamb of God could possibly fulfill...

Amen!

Ah David. You;re breaking my heart, But before I put you on the ignore list, I'd ask you to consider the following: Everywhere the spirit of anti-christ rises 2 things always rise with it.. 1, the slaughter of the innocents (abotion) 2, efforts to put an end to the daily sacrifice. (we will...

Hello Rella, Thank you for that, It is well said and most of it I would probably agree with, This however "So first of all, I think it should be clear at the outset that Jesus wasn’t identifying the bread and wine with His body and blood." is not clear at all, for Jesus did indeed...

Hello Rella, Not a word? The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Pax et Bonum

My dear FoG, Just because you cant answer my challenge is no reason to get nasty.. And cannibalism is entirely the wrong way to think about it.. It is this: "For this reason a man shall leave (his) father and (his) mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." This...

If Rome is your stumbling block, then come to the Feast with Alexandria! Come with Constantinople! But Come! I would challenge you to identify just one community, founded by an apostle that doesn't hold that Christ is substantially present in the Eucharist.. Pax et Bonum

Hello FoG, Well of course He did: the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world Now when did He give the apostles bread again? While they were eating, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, and said, "Take it; this is my body." Yes, indeed they...

Amen! How are you my friend? I am looking forward to advent and inviting my new coworkers to a Christmas party. Our Father is always so good to us! Even when His will is hard... Pax et Bonum

You can cite any modern 'source' you like. I'll stick with the Bishop of Antioch who learned these things from the apostle John, was ordained by the apostles, and commended by Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna. "To the angel of the church in Smyrna, write this: " 'The first and the last, who once...

Mary was a disciple of Jesus before HE was even born! As the Magnificat demonstrates.. Pax et Bonum

What a preposterous statement.. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude[of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. It is not lawful without the bishop either to baptize or to celebrate a love-feast; but whatsoever he shall approve...

My dear FoG, Because He said He would! the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world. Men have taught you to fear the Feast, but Jesus waits for you at every celebration of the Divine Liturgy. Waiting to be intimately united with you and you through Him with all your...

Of course it's Jesus the Word! He speaks and so it is! 'Let there be light' He says and it is so.. 'This is My body' He says and it is so.. 'This cup is the New Covenant in My Blood' He says and it is so.. Why don't you believe Him? Pax et Bonum

wow, just wow "My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior. For he has looked upon his handmaid's lowliness; behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed. The Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. His mercy is from age to...

Of course I answered the question! Christ IS risen! Alleluia! Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist! And He wants all to come to Him and believe... But there are some of you who do not believe." Jesus knew from the beginning the ones who would not believe and the one who would betray him...

Hello FoG, slopppy is not believing Jesus meant what He said.. dear Fullness, be no longer a doubter, but believe! You too! Are welcome to come to the wedding Feast of the Lamb of God. Christ is Risen! Alleluia! Yes Jesus gives His whole self to us, feeding us. Come to the Feast...

Indeed as should you.. Paul is clearly comparing and contrasting the Christian altar (the table of the Lord), with the temple altar and the altars of the pagans ( the table of demons) Everyone is welcome to come to the wedding Feast of the Lamb of God! The Spirit and the bride say, "Come."...
