2024, 20th Sunday in the Ordinary Time – The Eucharist

Let me end our reflection with the words of Pope Benedict XVI, who said, (0:07) Precisely because this is a mysterious reality that surpasses our understanding, (0:14) we must not be surprised today that many people find it hard to accept the real presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist. (0:22) This is how it has been since the day when Jesus openly declared that He had come to give us His flesh and His blood as food for us.

~Father Francis Ofrancia
