I simply address Him anywhere at any time I do that too and pray consistently,but I also realize that His True Presence in the Eucharist is faith beyond my own selfish time
Christianity is self sacrifice ,not just prayer of convenience

Christianity is self sacrifice ,not just prayer of convenience Christianity is Christ!!!! It's about Him dying on the cross, paying the penalty we can't pay ourselves.
It's about salvation by grace alone, through faith alone in Christ alone.

Is that some sort of self aggrandizing statement? Nothing I do for Christ is a sacrifice. I would consider it an honor to die for Him.

Jesus isn't in some piece of bread. He's in US by FAITH.
Colossians 1:27 To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
