Beautiful story.
I know several Baptists who have a special closeness to Christ. The Eucharist though is so intimate!

My concern is that in the Catholic church the Christian can partake of the Body but not of the Blood. When Jesus in Matthew 26:27-28 says, "Drink this, all of you (πάντες), for this is the blood of the covenant...", then to only receive the Body is not to truly experience the Eucharist.

“Christ daily comes to us in humble form; daily he comes down from the bosom of the father upon the altar in the hands of the priest.” -St. Francis of Assisi

Since the Holy Eucharist is the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus, WHY wouldn't one want to have that EVERY day?

Daily Mass, the only way to start the day. I do it...thanks to my Saudi boss, Mohammad Hussein, who told me that God was number one and there was always time for God.
So, since he thought it was good, I began my habit of DAILY MASS in Ras Tanura, Saudi Arabia.

The priest, minister and once-a-month-vicar are NOT men of the cloth because THOSE folks are forbidden. SO, the Saudis call them "special teachers." Worked for me.

God works in mysterious ways!

Makes perfect sense once you drop your Self and Self Alone interpretations and the traditional interpretations you got from whichever of the tens of thousands of denominations you are a part of.

For a sacrifice to be complete you must eat a portion of the sacrifice.

Therefore if the Eucharist isn't the real body and blood of Christ there's no way to accept accept His sacrifice for us because acceptance requires that we partake of a portion of the sacrificial Lamb Jesus Christ. That's why Christ says that unless we eat His flesh and drink His blood there is no life in us.
