Lecturer’s reflections
Reflection taken from the book: Beautiful Eucharist. By Matthew Kelly.
Eucharist is the body of Jesus. Only two times did the Disciples flee from Jesus. One, at his death and two, when Jesus initially gave them Eucharist saying, “I am the bread of life, unless you eat the flesh of the son of man, and drink his blood, you have no life in you.” Disciples who questioned this did leave his following. But the true followers, after discussing it, were believers. Question: Are we going to flee from Jesus or remain at his side? Are we going to partake in the Eucharist, especially during this Lenten season? A quote from the book, “At Mass on Sunday, the homily could be a language I don’t understand, the music could be a complete train wreck, there could be kids running up and down the aisle screaming at the top of their lungs and throwing crayons and eating snacks, OR, eating crayons and throwing snacks, but that is o.k. because the Eucharist is still present in that service.” Keep this in mind as we continue to receive the Body of Jesus.
