He provides for us spiritually as well as physically through the Eucharist. He becomes for us the bread of life - the body and blood of Christ which nourishes us, so that our faith can be strengthened. His body becomes real food when we receive it and His blood real drink. At the same time we can share in His divine life while He shares in our humanity.<br />That’s why Jesus Christ’s body and blood is a source of nourishment - the spiritual food for us. <br /><br />I long for Him when my spirituality is down. He lifts me up with the hope of resurrection from death. He is the living bread from heaven God offers us. I belong to Him whenever I receive it. Jesus is a real person who abides in me, to guide me and heal me, encourage me. I feel I am in union with Him and closer to Him when I receive Him. He comforts me when I am down. He becomes a life-companion for me. He grants me his peace and satisfies me with the finest wheat. I am not alone; He is with me. For that I praise God because He satisfies me, fills me with the finest of wheat, the body and blood of Christ.Bethnoreply@blogger.com
