Monday Musings - Open The Eyes of Your Heart


"Have you ever thought about the immense gift God has given to us in the holy Eucharist? Everything you can say about Christianity is related to the Eucharist in one way or another.

Open the eyes of your heart and let yourself be pierced by this mystery.  God, the second person of the most Holy Trinity, gives Himself to us in the humblest possible way, as bread and wine. The multiplication of the loaves and fishes was a beautiful miracle but our Lord did not come just to feed 4000 people on a particular day. He came to give Himself as bread every day until the end of time.

The multiplication of the loaves and fishes is dwarfed by this daily multiplication of Himself at the Eucharistic banquet."
