The Eucharist in the Eyes of the Children

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
When?-at Holy Communion
In order to be healthy. What do you eat?  You eat fruits and vegetables,fish and  meat. Not junk foods.

And to  be Jesus. Eat the body of Jesus and become another Jesus to others which is manifested  as you  Pray, Behave  , Obey, Listen and Love .
