Today at Holy Thursday mass, I was so struck by one line in the opening hymn. The line was “the bread will sustain you”. Then, I automatically thought of purity and cleanliness. Most especially because this week has been a really tough week at work and spiritually.
My thoughts just reminded me of the improtance of confession and how grateful we should truly be for confession, so that we can be purified, and it is in this state that we can receive the Eucharist.
The Eucharist is Christ.
Eu – ar – christ (make sense?) lol
Once we have consumed the bread, we become walking tabernacles. The bread will only truly sustain us, if we walk out of the church recognizing we have Christ in us and complete faith in Him.
I know we all know this, but it was a great reminder for me, because of the challenges I have been going through this week.
God is so good!
