Be a red blood cell!

[Cadian]

Can I be a phagocyte? I feel like destroying viruses sounds more fun

JK! I do really like your analogy though!

Well to some extent, as we witness we do just that. We dispel heresy and tacitly, act as “white blood cells” to extend the OP’s analogy. :knight1:

OK, in that context I can see where you are leading one to think of the analogy of the red blood cell, not of it’s own action imbibing the oxygen as metaphor for grace being given to the communicant via the Eucharist as another example of the parable of the vine when explained as you have. I just find it, without the explanation, and standing on it’s own, a bit of a stretch. Perhaps amend your original example with the further explanation? With that further clarification, then the analogy has more merit.

I did post this with the desire to get feedback to help do exactly what you suggest. I could see doing a blog post on this eventually - fully flushing it out and providing pictorial explanations some day. Just need some time…

Understood, thank you for entertaining my criticism. Offered in love ( I hope ).

I received them with gratitude.

Today, driving down the road to Mass, I contemplated this analogy. Now, I’m about to interact with the folks at work, and I hope to be a properly working red blood cell.

This is so cool!!! I’ve shared it with my Catholic friends and they loved it too… the body is amazing, I’m studying physiology right now and it just reminds me how amazing God is… everything works together perfectly and we don’t even realize it! Yay God is great.
