To become part of HIM
Acts 9:
1-20; Jn 6: 52-59.
'The one who feeds on me will have life because of me', declares the Lord
today! Saul turns Paul, the persecutor turns the proclaimer...an absolute
transformation that changed history for ever - because he experienced Christ!
The Lord invites us to a personal experience of Him... eat my flesh, drink my
blood, become part of me; remain in me and I shall remain in you!
Everyday is an opportunity to grow closer personally with Christ and every
Eucharist we celebrate is a moment to become part of him, to remain in him and
to allow the Lord to remain in us. St. Paul remains the greatest challenge ever
posed to a Christian...he himself was aware of it. That is why he dared say,
"be imitators of me as I am of Christ" (1 Cor 11:1).
Being imitators of Christ is not merely a matter of doing things, rather an
essential change of our very nature. It becomes natural, when we become more
and more a part of Him!
