How ironic that you quote this while relying on the perceptions of your flesh to deny the words of God... This is my body, take and eat.

Hello Ferris, natural food yes.. But the Spiritual food that is the Bread of Life Himself?... Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my...

As an English teacher, (please go easy on my grammatical and spelling errors ;) ) I'm sure you're keenly aware of how easily people can be misunderstood and/or have difficulty communicating their thoughts to another in an understandable manner. How much more when discussing the mysteries of God...

Ty. I also appreciate civil discourse. So that's at least two things we agree on ;) Kind of like no one can show a 2000 year old community that does NOT believe the Eucharist is truly the Body and Blood of Christ? I understand the frustration.. ;) I will attempt to answer your question but...

Hello PW, What I was saying, is that it is demonstrable that the Church has believed and taught this from the very beginning. For example Ignatius, Bishop of the Church in Antioch writes: "They abstain from eucharist (thanksgiving) and prayer, because they allow not that the eucharist is the...

And yet for 2000 years the Church has demonstrably taught that Jesus meant exactly what He said.. The truth is established in the testimony of 2 or 3 witnesses... The Church in Rome, the Church in Alexandria, the Church in Constantinople, are 3, 2000 year old living witnesses that the...

Lol, I'll take it! :D

You can lead a horse to water... The Spirit and the bride say, "Come." Let the hearer say, "Come." Let the one who thirsts come forward, and the one who wants it receive the gift of life-giving water Peace be with you!

Hello Ferris, Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. How else can we be made one flesh with Him, than to receive His flesh? At every Mass you have the Groom offering Himself to His bride and she receiving Him.. You too! Are welcome to come to the wedding feast...

We are made one body by being united with Christ through participation in the Eucharist. And the two (Christ and His bride) are made one flesh... The one who has the bride is the bridegroom; the best man, who stands and listens for him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. So this joy...

You mean in addition to the verse I gave you about the two becoming one flesh? 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? Because the loaf of bread is one, we, though many, are...

Hello. You asked what else happens when receiving communion besides 'proclaiming His death till He comes'.. The intimate union of the Groom and His bride! Peace!

Hello Tong, 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 is a great mystery, but I speak in reference to Christ and the church. You too! Are welcome to come to the wedding feast of the Lamb of God! Peace...

The Martyrdom of Polycarp (Lightfoot translation) All you holy martyrs, Pray for us!

Wow, just wow.. Sts Paul and Polycarp, Pray for us!

Whoever has my commandments and observes them is the one who loves me. And whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him

Yes, prayers for them too, Lord, have mercy!

So should it be with you. When you have done all you have been commanded, say, 'We are unprofitable servants; we have done what we were obliged to do.'

I am so sorry. Praying for your granddaughter. Peace be with you!

Rather, let us pray for the Lord to have mercy on her soul.. Lord, For the sake of your sorrowful passion, Have mercy on Ruth Ginsburg, And on the whole world!
