During the Mass for the
First communion in one of the schools, the bishop tried to explain the
Eucharist according to the level of the communicants. Using the classroom
style of teaching , he used question and answer
method.
Who is closest to your
heart?
Who is number one in your life?
Whom do you love most?
What do you do to make the
one closest to your heart happy?
Why is she/he closest to
your heart? Yes, you are right in
your answer to all the above questions, it is your parents.
But, there is one whom we
should love more than our parents? He is the highest most
powerful, most loving, the very best, the richest, He created and owns all
things, He made all of us. He gave all
we have and all that we are.
Who is he I am referring to? - God!
Yes, and this God wants to
be very near to us, to be very close- so He became man.
Who is He who became man? JESUS!
And He made a miracle in order that
He will not only be near us, but that that He will be able to enter our hearts. He changed
the bread into His body- when does this
happen? It happens during the Holy Mass.
And we receive this Body of
Christ- the consecrated bread
