Jesus and the Eucharist

[Chidiebere]

Suppose (God Forbid) one becomes Blind and Deaf in the literalist sense, cannot see, cannot hear?

How does He/she persevere and “nourrish” their faith in order to maintain and perfect (as Paul often refers to it) their faith as a Christian.

In the Protestant Church? (prayer maybe)
In the Catholic Church? (Eucharist yes) -and prayer maybe)

It then occured to me that Taste/Eat IS THE ONLY SENSE that could result in BOTH SPIRITUAL (lack of Eucharist) AND PHYSICAL DEATH (lack of bread-). Conversely it opens the way for all the other ones. Thus one cannot see if they are dead whether spiritually or physically?

Depriving ourselves from all the other ones (seeing, touching, hearing, smelling will not result in physical death, and should not result in SPIRITUAL DEATH. Jesus countered that with the Eucharist.

Theology of the senses? maybe

Will this be a valid apologetic approach for JOHN 6? And the reason why We are catholic?

My Mom can’t taste, yet she still eats and receives the Eucharist.

I do see where you are headed, though. Perhaps a better way of stating it is that the mouth is the doorway by which we injest both air and food. These are both key to sustaining physical life. At the same time, it is the doorway to our soul and through which we receive Jesus in the Eucharist.

The mouth is also a conduit by which we express ourselves vocally. The mouth is both an (name removed by moderator)ut and an output. We can utter words of love, praise honor, etc or we can slander, lie and mock.

I was under the impression that St. Paul we walk by faith and not by our senses.

 

[Chidiebere]

Point very well taken, thank you indeed you are right in ur remark. and it is subconsciously what I meant to say. Proceeding by using the pathways of the senses of oppose to the senses themselves would be the right approach

 

[O.S.Luke]

It is a very good approach to John 6.

And you don’t have to be Catholic to embrace this way of thinking.
