It is something we take for granted, but thinking a bit more deeply on it, what a miracle it is to have simple bread and wine transformed into the Body and Blood of Jesus. Who among us would have ever thought of taking those ordinary things and making them divine? Do we really appreciate the ingesting of Divinity, of our loving Savior, our all-sacrificing Savior, our best friend who becomes one with us in the most intimate union possible? It is humbling to acknowledge the depth of God's love for us, that he gives us his Son to be ONE with us, the weak, the lowly, the sinful, to raise us up and slowly over time transform us to the Divine.
Moreover, when we act, even the most simple actions of smiling to one another, joking, teasing, brining laughter, compassion, a listening ear, washing the floor...whatever, when done with love, these too like the bread and wine can be transformed into the Body and Blood of Jesus. It is through these simple gifts that we nourish one another as Jesus nourishes us in the Eucharist.
Alleluia!
