Reflection

According to Pope Francis, what are some of the ways we might see Jesus “remaining” in us when we eat his flesh and drink his blood?
In the Body and Blood of Christ, we find His presence, His life given for each of us. He not only gives us help to go forward, but He gives us himself—He makes Himself our travelling companion, He enters our affairs, He visits us when we are lonely, giving us back a sense of enthusiasm. This satisfies us, when the Lord gives meaning to our life, to our darkness, our doubts. But He sees the meaning, and this meaning that the Lord gives satisfies us. This gives us that “more” that we all seek—namely, the presence of the Lord! For in the warmth of his presence, our lives change.
Pope Francis
