The Communion and the Coming of Jesus
Monday, 24th week in Ordinary Time
1 Cor 11: 17-26,33; Lk 7: 1-10
The Word presents to us the two inseparable dimensions of the Eucharistic celebration. The coming of Jesus Christ the Word made flesh and the communion of the Body of Christ the people of God.
It's a real challenge today to make our Eucharistic Celebration truly a moment of communion of hearts rather than merely a ritual of ceremonies. That needs a bit of homework prior to the celebration itself. The Communion has to be built in the daily life and celebrated at the Eucharist. If it had not been built all already what do we celebrate at all?
The coming of Christ making the words of the Lord come true and Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist is a great boon given to our burdensome life! The Lord is with us and that makes our life extremely beautiful come what may. We may not be worthy but the Lord designs to visit it's. How blessed we are!
