In Memory of Me -21- with Joseph and Ronald - on the Eucharist -on vigil of WYD / JMJ Rio 2013 - Totus2us

In Memory of Me

Joseph, from England: "The Eucharist is such an on-going, worldwide and hourly thing where the presence of Jesus Christ is truly here in his sacrifice. I think it's a misconception by many and people sort of think that it's taking away from the crucifixion. But it's not. It's making us present with Jesus and it's the way we can receive Jesus on earth. And ideally we all want to go to heaven and to be with Jesus in the future, so why not receive Jesus now and learn to have a relationship with him? It's one of the most beautiful parts of my faith and something that I really relish and whenever I get the chance I go to Mass so I can receive the Eucharist." Ronald, from Kenya: ""The Eucharist to me is very important because that is Jesus Christ with us right here. Jesus Christ did not leave us with a Bible, but he left us with the Eucharist and he said it plainly, and he said 'This is my body and this is my blood.' Plain and simple. It is because of that that, technically and literally, the world and the universe revolves around it: that has been our source of civilization, that has been the source of our time on the calendar. So to me the Eucharist is the holy grail of civilization and it's my great joy that I receive it." Music by Fr Stan Fortuna CFR. Visit Totus2us.com for much more.
