Falling in Love with Christ through the Eucharist

The Eucharist for me is the greatest gift ever, but one that I never realized until 5 years ago. I would absolutely say that since that day when the grace of the Eucharist first touched me, I have had a longing for it ever since, that has grown deeper and deeper.

I think before 2018 I had never fully committed myself to the Eucharist/Communion. I never understood it. It all felt too much of an advance theology teaching for me, so I passed by it.

I now know that with the Eucharist, and everything else related to faith, is that we just need to let God speak to us, instead of trying to figure out how miracles happen.

I don't believe that the bread and wine is the actual Body and Blood of Jesus Christ just because I've studied the doctrine, or that I understand completely about transubstantiation - anyone can try to teach me what transubstantiation means, and I probably still won't understand it. I believe that the Eucharist is Christ, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity because I know it in my heart it is, just like I know the sun will set at night, and rise in the morning, and that I'm loved by God, and that He died for me because he wants me in His Kingdom at the end of my life. A Catholic who believes it is Christ in the Eucharist, probably can't tell you the ins and outs of how they believe that, or maybe even why.

The feeling and devotion are sometimes what one can't describe. For me, it feels like the longing to be in a loved one’s company; to sit with them and just be in each other’s presence.
