Today we celebrate Christ’s promise that He would be with us till the end of time- a promise fulfilled in His real presence in the Holy Eucharist, the source and summit of the Christian life.
In nourishing us spiritually with His Body and Blood, we grow closer to Him and more like Him.
The God who assumed our human flesh in the Incarnation and will surrender it in the Passion, now gives us His very substance in the Mass.
Emmanuel (God-with-us) ensures His permanent presence, not just as a notion we might or might not believe or attend to, but objectively present, in the Sacrament at the hands of every priest, in the tabernacle at the heart of every Church and in the mouth and being of every Christian.
To mark this special feast, I have written a Pastoral Letter, “Adoring the Eucharistic Lord: Let Us Kneel before the God who Made Us”, which you can read here: https://catholicweekly.com.au/adoring-the-eucharistic-lord-let-us-kneel-before-the-god-who-made-us/ God bless.
