Interesting turn of phrase though I think I've heard this somewhere before ... oh yes I remember now.

So once again folks with no life in them insist that Jesus Christ Himself is wrong.

John 6:54 "Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you."

". . .that cookie . . ."

Interesting choice of words, Chickie, why not go the whole way and draw a few funny pictures to go with it?

It is not your fault that you don’t know what you are talking about. Only one who has the gift of Faith can understand these mysteries.

That little morsel of bread is Jesus Christ’s glorified body, by His command, and effected through His priests. Heaven and Earth will pass, but His Words will remain.

His sheep hear His voice. But keep in mind, they have been blessed with the gift of Faith; not merited, not earned, not arrived at by good works.

The Eucharist is called the “Mystery of Faith” because every one of our senses tell us it is just bread and wine. Seeing we do not see, touching we do not touch, tasting we do not taste, smelling we do not smell, yet hearing we do hear. Yes, as the “Pange Lingua” of Thomas Aquinas reminds us, the sense of hearing only is to be trusted when approaching this great Sacrament.

I had an experience once that taught me in a very special way how true, beautiful, and intimate the reception of Jesus Christ Himself is for those who believe.
