I’ll have to save my big blogging for later this evening, but I wanted to give visitors who were already here yesterday a little taste for today. There are some statements that just make me go “Huh?,” and here is one of them:
“Sometimes we get so caught up in Christ in the Eucharist that we forget about Christ himself.”
The explanation was this:
“We get so caught up in the externals that we forget the deeper meaning.”
My response is:
“If you know a thing about the externals, you probably are caught up in the deeper meaning. A Sacrament is an outward sign instituted by Christ to give grace. Therefore, the external is important. Oh, and by the way, the Eucharist is Christ himself.”
