YEAR OF MISSION TWENTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

You are what you eat! That should be true when it comes to the Eucharist. The food and the drink we receive at Mass is our nourishment to sustain us in all we do to be like Christ. But those gifts of Christ’s Body and Blood are given precisely that we might become what we receive – Christ. We are to become what we eat and drink. Christ is given to us as food and drink so that we might have life in us and so that his life, flowing through us, might enable our world and others to know he is near through us. Christ is truly present to us in the Eucharist; his real presence makes his home in us so that, seeking to be like him, we might be reminders and signs of his presence in the ordinariness of our week – at home, at work, in the places where we encounter others. May our world know ‘Christ living among us’ because of the witness we give and the life we live
