As Fr. Caropi says: If we eat everyday to nourish and replenish our bodies…then we should at least come to the supper of the Lord and receive him once a week to nourish and replenish our souls:amen:

As was just said, Jesus is only physically present within us for about 15 minutes after we receive the Eucharist. When the accidents of the bread and wine (appearance, taste, touch) no longer remain, neither does Jesus.

Interesting…

See, I thought after we recieve the Eucharist, He would be in us for the rest of our lives…and returning to Mass each Sunday and recieving Him again would keep up that “relationship” so to speak.

I NEVER knew or didn’t know that He is with us 10-15 min. in the Host, I thought that He was in us constantly to change us! :confused:

Maybe that explains why my spirit was so dry before recieving Him yesterday then after receiving Him, felt united to Him when leaving Mass, driving home. Then after 15 min. that “good feeling” was gone.

That explains it. But He still is living in us?

Of course! Again, WRT the Eucharist, it is only the physical presence of Christ that remains for the roughly 15 minutes. The indwelling Christ is there as long as you let Him! Don’t fall for the trick that the physical is somehow “more real” than spiritual; they are both equally real, but they are also different. Where two or more are gathered in His name, he is *really *there (just not physically there). There is a definite distinction between the two, but Christ is fully alive and present in each.

Does that make sense?

God Bless,

HUH?

So after we chew and swallow the Eucharist, our Lord is physically in the Host? Then after 10-15 min. that “physicalness” turns to spiritual?
