“This is my Body”
At
Mass, the priest pronounces the words of Jesus: “This is my Body”; “This is my Blood”. And he raises the host and then the chalice. At that moment, the bread and the wine become the Body and Blood of Christ. With your eyes you can only see the bread, but in your heart you believe that He is truly there on the altar. Christ, there before you. He is really present in the bread, with his beating Heart and his divine life! What an immense mystery! Those who are going to receive Holy Communion. They receive Jesus, who is so great, and who becomes so small, in the host. Mass is over. The consecrated hosts are placed lovingly in the tabernacle. Like a treasure.
