Eucharistic Reflection - Transform Us Lord

Image
(Photo©Michael Seagriff) "...You are the body of Christ; you are members of Jesus Christ; you are the temple of the Holy Spirit. What a marvel! We are here in a church built of stone, before a tabernacle made of marble, and we approach this place with awe. We observe silence. We tiptoe our way ahead to the altar, we open ourselves to the radiance of this silence which is made different by the Sacred presence of the Host...He is there for us, to consecrate us, to transform us into a living host, so that we may truly be the sanctuary of the divinity."
