The Disciples Doubted the Eucharist. Do You?

You may have heard that Jesus is present in the Eucharist, but have you really heard those words? You may have been in the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, but have you really seen him in the Eucharist?

Today, Fr. Mike challenges us to take Jesus at His word (John 6:6) and to grow in our faith in His real presence, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity in the Eucharist!

I’ve been Baptist in the past and had no idea anyone even taught communion this way. Now, I have no idea how people could hear and believe our amazing God wouldn’t do this miracle for us personally in Mass. We really do need it, and He really is that good.

I am 60. I was raised baptist and became Catholic 14 years ago and I am so mad at myself for not doing it sooner. I’ve missed out on so much. But man oh man! I’m so happy and blessed to be here now!

[nojo]

Oh man, and I thought I was looking forward to tonight's Adoration even before this!!!

It's really Him.

Because.
He.
Said.
So.

Love you, Jesus! ❤️❤️❤️🙌🙌🙌

My wife recently became Catholic and I have spoken to her before about the Bread of Life discourse, John Chapter 6. On her own, last night, she went back and re-read it. Praise the Lord! I SO wish, as others have said in these comments, that more people would open their heart to what Jesus is saying to us and embrace what He offers all of us. This is part of our Mission during this time of Eucharistic revival.

Father Mike is just what Catholics and all believers needed 🙏🏼💪🏽🥰

Amen. Go to confession, don't receive eucharist unless you're in a state of grace, and pray to receive devoutly on your knees. And receive as often as possible!

So... I'm a deadhead, like Fr. Calloway was(/is?), and after 38 years here, I finally was confirmed this year. I've been enjoying Bible in a year, finally got through Judges (and was really excited to finally hear of Samson), and am stoked to be gearing up for John (by the way, I had never heard or read Ruth till now, oh my!!!). Anyhow, after work today, and tending to my mother and niece, while on my way home I was rocking out to one of the many renditions is "Samson and Delilah, " by Grateful Dead. Put in my earbuds to listen to this while doing some dishes at home... Man, what a blessing! I saw the thumbnail and knew where it was heading. How did I until now not see the juxtaposition to the Lord in this Parable until now?! I haven't been excited about life for too long, but here I am, bursting at the seems, ready to donate blood (Seriously: does this constitute blowing the horn for almsgiving? If so I'll omit this line it delete them post.) at a drive through my church tomorrow! Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit! You're a-okay too Fr Mike!

I'm Anglican, but this is one of the best definition of the holy communion I've heard. God bless you and keep you 🙏 ✝️

[cheraybisaya]

I was talking/asking God to show me some signs HE hears me, during the Holy Communion, the priest raised 2 Host & said Body of Christ, it wasn't stuck, it was perfectly overlapping with one another. Our Dear God is alive, God Bless all the priests!

[dianapaul]

Dear Lord heal both our children completely from their food allergies. It is a constant struggle and life threatening issue. I believe in your healing power.

You are so right. Churchs, at least in Spain, are almost empty because we, Catholics don't open our hearts, eyes and ears to the Great Mistery of real presence of Jesus there, actually. Let us ask Him to open our senses to the truly love. Young people, come and see!!! .

Father Mike, you helped bring me to the church. Thank you! 💕

[tony]

Father Mike, thank you, your explanations are easy to understand, i feel closer to god. As a catholic I needed this, please pray for me and my family. Amen.

[joseignacio]

Amen, father... Amen... "Do you know who I am?... Do you?" 🤔 We need to hear again the words of Jesus as they simply are in the Gospels... We need to learn to hear again with simplicity

[lslawyer]

I'm so happy that I've been given the grace to recognize Him in Eucharist. My 75th birthday is this year on the Feast of the Assumption - and the only things I asked for was to visit with my granddaughter and to receive holy communion. I'm told that I will receive both.

[robertcastillo]

One of the best, if not the best explanations of the Eucharist I’ve ever heard. This subject is a sticking point for my wife who is Christian but not Catholic. We’ve been married 40 years but are not in communion with each other. I am broken over this. All I can do is pray that someday the Holy Spirit will reveal to her the truth.

[jrdavis]

I love this parable. I am.not Catholic but enjoyed your perspective on it. God bless you in your work

[writtenwithseraph]

I'm a lifelong Protestant, but I started going to OCIA and the teaching of the Eucharist was one of the biggest challenges I've had. I'm thankful for Fr. Mike for these teachings and videos. It's been super helpful.

[meeofcourse]

Another intensive session, Fr Mike... We love your enthusiasm and commitment. Amen
