We become what we eat!
We read in St. Mark’s Gospel,
And as they were eating, He took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them, and said, “Take; This is My body.”
And He took a chalice, and when he had given thanks, He gave it to them, and they drank of it. And He said to them, “This is My blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many.”
Mark 14: 22-24
Jesus came to be with us and gave us Himself in His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity, in other words, Jesus gave us His totality so that we we could remain with Him forever. This may seem otherworldly, but actually it in “This- Worldly”! Evil will attack us, and we need protection.
Jesus is Lord!
Jesus knew we would suffer because of following Him, hence He had to give us Divine Food so we could “Walk through the shadow of death “.
The more we consume Jesus worthily, the more we are Jesuslike!
Jesus will take over and we will regain peace through Him!
Happy Solemnity of Corpus Christi!
Pax. The Hermit of Peace.
