It does require consistent and focused effort to assure that the Most Holy Eucharist is given “the prominence it deserves.” There is after all nothing about the external appearance of the host or the wine in the chalice that cries out, in and of itself, for adoration, wonder or awe. Gazing upon these external elements with the eyes of faith, we need to be driven to our knees, knowing that they have received the Sacred Words and are now different than their accidents indicate. We proclaim, “Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.” This is our Lord present to us and for us, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. There is “no danger of excess in our care for this mystery.” continue reading Vasa at the blog of Gerald Augustinus. H/T to Curt Jester, as well.
