The End and the Beginning



This is the end and the beginning. i love the words that this song starts with, "If everything that the Roman Catholic Church 
taught were true, what difference would it make in our lives
We believe that in every single mass, 
through the power of the Holy Spirit,
that the bread and the wine are transformed 
into the flesh and the blood of Jesus"

so what difference does this make in our lives? do we act on what the Church teaches or do we sit and twiddle our thumbs waiting for something to happen? I also love what the song says a little later

"If indeed what I am saying is true,
and this is what the Church says,
then our hearts need to start burning
with a deeper understanding of who and what
this Eucharist is"

Our heart needs to start burning! burning with a fire unable to be put out. but we do not accept this. when I am sitting in mass and look at people walking up to receive communion i see a people losing faith. these are not the people whose hearts are on fire.  All of these people I see are aching for something more they are still searching, I ask them why they still are searching when what they want they receive at the mass. These men, women, and children are receiving their Lord and Savior. they are receiving Christ. 

Jesus believed the phrase "you are what you eat". This is why Jesus gave himself to us, the best way we can become like Jesus is to attend mass and consume his Holy Eucharist. in doing this we consume Jesus so that Jesus can consume us. 

So are our hearts burning for him? and if not what can we do to rekindle this fire...
