CHRIST COMES TO US

What do you think about after receiving the body and blood of Christ? I always gave thanks to God for letting me, an unworthy servant, receive the most precious gift of all, the body and blood of Christ. Lately, after receiving these precious gifts, I reflect on what has taken place. Through the calling down of the Holy Spirit on the bread and wine, Christ comes to us and mystically (not magically) places himself in the bread and wine. It is like a business that has a new owner. The building and the people remain the same, but a new entity has taken charge. We follow the direction of the new owner. Take this all of you and drink from it. At communion Christ gives himself to us and we receive Him. We consume Him, His body becomes part of our body, His blood mingles with our blood, it flows through our veins. He joins Himself to us completely, body, soul, blood, and divinity. He becomes part of us. That is what I think about now, after receiving as I sit in my chair, and I still give thanks and praise. What do you think about when you receive Him?
