We live in the 21st century in which a few countries like the US
corporations dominate the rest and try to bend them to their will.
Do the wealthy CEOS know anything about this great Eucharist that you
speak of or care if it won't make them richer?
How many Catholics (I am one in name) care for this thing called the
Eucharist?
How does it transform them in their daily lives? How many Catholics
today care for this thing called the Eucharist?
Isn't frankly just a pious Euro belief of early Christianity and has no
meaning today? Thousands of Euro priests in the West receive the
Eucharist at Mass but then go on to molest young children.
Why hasn't the Eucharist transformed them into saintly characters? Now
don't tell me they don't have the right dispositions.
It is time that the Vatican & their friends banish these ancient
'sacraments' that make no sense today. Which Catholic is prepared to
defend the Eucharist today?
Best wishes.

Living Bread Come Down from Heaven
Thomas Weinandy OFM Cap.: The Eucharist is a foretaste of eternal
life. Here on earth, we are taken up into the heavenly realm and
participate in the everlasting heavenly liturgy.
The Bishops of the United States have initiated a Eucharistic Revival
and will be discussing it today at their annual fall meeting in
Baltimore. It began on the Feast of Corpus Christi 2022 and will
conclude on Pentecost of 2025. The following is intended to be a modest
theological contribution to their Spirit-filled endeavor.
Chapter 6 of John’s Gospel contains Jesus’ Eucharistic
discourse. It begins with Jesus multiplying the five loaves and two
fishes – resulting in an abundance that filled twelve baskets of
leftovers. Following this miracle-sign, Jesus withdrew to the hills to
pray.
The next day the crowd went seeking for Jesus, and when they
found him, Jesus declared that they sought him not because they saw
signs, but because of the loaves. Jesus then said: “Do not labor for
the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life,
which the Son of man will give you.”
The crowd asks what they must do to possess eternal life;
Jesus responds that they are to believe in him whom the Father sent.
They ask Jesus for a sign – and offer the example of their fathers
eating manna in the wilderness. Ironically, Jesus just performed that
very sign – a sign that they failed to recognize.
