"When we were in the womb of our mother for nine months, we eat nothing but the flesh and blood of our mother. Whether you like it or not, walang menudo doon, walang sisig doon, walang adobo doon. What we are only eating inside the womb of our mother is her own flesh and blood. And because of that, it created an intimacy between a mother and child. Because of that, it created an intimacy. Kaya kahit gaano katigas ang ulo ng anak, hindi makakalimutan ng ina ang kanyang anak. What Jesus was trying to tell us, I want to have a relationship with you. Don't just go to mass. Don't just pray. Have a relationship with Jesus. Receive it with reverence. Receive it prayerfully. Receive it with gratitude. Don't just receive it as if you are receiving a simple bread. The body of Christ, thank you, Father. Ang sagot doon, Amen. Ang hirap noon, malayo pa lang nakangiti ka na. Hindi ko alam kung natutuwa kong tatanggapin mo si Kristo pag inabot sa iyo, thank you. Hindi ito tanghalian, mga minamahal na kapatid, because we have failed to understand. Again, think about it, pray about it, because what God is asking from us is not that we only survive, but we have an intimate relationship with Him."
