Day 23: Holy Communion

Why do we eat the Eucharist? Wouldn’t it be enough to just witness the sacrifice on the altar? And why do we stay for the end of Mass, even after we’ve received the Eucharist? To explain these questions, Dr. Sri moves into the third facet of the Eucharist, Holy Communion. We explore how the Apostles would have understood the words at the Last Supper, looking back to ancient sacrifices in the book of Genesis and Exodus, and Dr. Sri shares how we can make the most of this special moment in the Mass today.

What would it look like for you to slow down and truly spend time with Jesus after receiving him at Mass?How can you more intentionally prepare your heart to receive Jesus and recognize yourself as a “living tabernacle” after Holy Communion?Who or what intention can you more intentionally offer to God each time you receive Holy Communion?
