“What is the fact of the Eucharist? It is that the same
Jesus Who was born on earth not only became man but remains man. He not only
came into the world, He is in the world. In a word, He came to stay. The
Eucharist is Christmas prolonged, because faith tells us that once God became
man, He decided to remain man. From all the reaches of past eternity, God had
only been God. But having once taken on human flesh, into now the future
reaches of eternity, God will always remain man. And this God-Man is here; Bethlehem
is wherever there is a Catholic Church or chapel in which Christ is present…”
