Body and Blood of Christ (2)

According to pew 70%

dont reality of Mass which teaching calls source summit

Mass, call Being itself, foundation reality, infinite, truly present

maker truly on THIS altar to nourish us

contray appear not reason bu

john 6:66 reason for division

Perhaps if recognized source summit more believe

source and summit held less than 3rd of Catholics.

Less than a 3rd of Catholics believe in Catholicism

Source and Summit?

certainly reality of Eucharist sacrifice stood as a mountain summit of Christ’s teaching, but THE source summit?

Didn’t he say greatest commandment was love God w/..?

So which is the greatest?

So the greatest…the summit..love God with all…but oh no the Mass is source and summit.

Doesn’t it seem like disagree just a bit?

How bridge the valley btw these TWO summits? How bring these mountains together?

First problem is think just about receiving Euch.

Just priest doing his thing

might as well sleep in pews with mouths open let priest plop the Eucharist in mouth

If we think that, not heard ‘my sacrifice AND YOURS’?

the Eucharist prayer says ‘WE offer you” and

when priest faces you during sacrifice might forget that its not about him alone putting on a show for you,

we are doing this together, all turned toward God

one reason priest turned toward God with the people physically to show that sign

actually as my current missal written, just become a habit since the 60s.

No, we are all turned God together actively participating in the sacrifice of the Eucharist.

So what is it sacrificing together?

re-presenting the one sacrifice

what was that one sacrifice, body of Christ

now who are we all together that makes us different from other humans but the same among us?......

the body of Christ

What were we re-presenting again?....

Not somefuzzy platitude

‘oh we share the body of Christ’

WE ARE ON THAT ALTAR IN CHRIST

no this is the teaching, a teaching V2 wanted priests to reaffirm

don’t beleive me?

Cyril Alexandria, Augustine,

Mediator dei, constitutions Lumen gentium, sacrosanctum concilium

as CCC 1368 READ

The Mass

Look, you who are reconciled to Christ

REALLY MADE OF US A LIVIGN SACRIFICE?

something made better for us the more we live the reality of laying down our life for the Good in all things so not a lie at Mass when you say you lay down yourself on the altar to God

there you are on the altar in him

lifted high on the patten and chalice raised to the glory of God

with a Crack… there your body is broken

soon you receive it back as food, deified in the life of Christ himself who is truly present in it

Ok, so we offer self through him, with him, and in him, what does that have to do with other summit?

source summit is euch sacrifice, but how bridge summit of love God w/ all

greatest command

what Christ say greatest love?...........

lay down your life for another

So if we wish to love ALLL…what need to do for God

lay down our life.

What do we lay down in the Eucharist sacrifice?

our very lives united in and through and with the one who makes us holy

In the Mass we therefore are completing the greatest sacrifice in the most perfect way possible

turns out our vision was just doubled

the two summits are actually the same one

The Mass:

Our source and summit of our faith.. Our Greatest commandment. Our highest charge.

Notes
