One also needs food for our spiritual journey to spend eternity with our good Lord. Holy Communion is that Sacred food for that journey-to-eternity of ours.
It's the most important of our existence because our goal to heaven is for eternity.
Hell is eternity without God.
Food? Is the body JESUS now occupies in Heaven having The Life distributed throughout the tissues by blood coursing through that body?... Let’s see how well you know your Catholic Bible.
Ain't it good to pick and choose!
Which central sacrificial sacrament at the hands of priests is utterly absent in the life of the NT church, which writings are interpretative of the gospels. See post 55 and 73 and 117 here by the grace of God before you try to respond.
**One needs food for a journey, whether it’s across the states, North America or the world.**
Yes, we must eat regularly, or we will be hungry, or eventually starve.
Jesus Christ told the Samaritan woman at the well:
“If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.” Jn 4:10
Of course the woman was perplexed at hearing of living water. She remained unspiritual, thinking of well water, to which the Lord replied:
“Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again. But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.” Jn 4:13,14
So, in your teaching, if the Lord’s Supper is literal flesh and blood that gives eternal life, one time should last forever. It won’t wear out like earthly food.
But, it is an effective way to get parishioners to keep coming back to church service.
I know RCs that show up just in time for mass, since they feel that everything else is not critical.
