The Eucharist Communion

[Cathode]

There are so many facets and aspects to Jesus in the Eucharist, it will take Eternity to worship them all.

At once He is like an innocent toddler running to me with His arms out and heart wounded and bleeding but with an incomprehensible joy to see me, saying ‘ see how much I love you ‘.

In the face of this sweetness and innocence that can’t be described really, all I can do is bow face flat down to the ground and worship Him. It is beyond anything and overwhelming.
At times it is like He is Incarnate again as at Bethlehem, just for me in the Eucharist, resting in me.
Then I see His beautiful Holy Face battered and bloodied looking at me from the Cross.
There is exquisite joy, peace and love, but there is exquisite sorrow, desolations and sufferings He shares. It’s surrounding and all enveloping and overwhelming.

Then at once I find myself a rough stupid man in this dark hard mean world again, like everything is contracted and limited. And have a terrible desperate hunger and thirst to be back there with Jesus in the Eucharist.

I have been robbed, it is an unjust and vicious cruelty to be here, is all I can think and feel, but the memory of there pushes me on again to open the door to Him just to be with Him and dwell in this secret place with Him in the inner part.

We are cold, hard, cruel, exacting, contractual and vicious creatures, only in and with Jesus are we truly human.

We have a terrifying free will, between Jesus and ourselves.

IMHO. You have to remember that cathode is a full blown, rc denomination blinders on, brainwashed member of the rc denomination. Kind of reminds me of trying to give the Truth of God's Word to a mormon. Very cult-like.

just remember catholics are not only denomination that practices the eucharist

If this is brain washing, then I want more of it and I want it for the whole world, and would ask for total immolation of my body grace assured for this to be so for the whole world.

If this is madness then make me a glutton of it.

I remember when this madness began.

I had lost all my mining/ exploration contracts in the down turn years ago. My life had shrunk from a JetSki Woo hoo High Flyer lifestyle very young and rich, to a cleaner with a long handle dust pan and brush scraping gum of a shopping mall floor. Nothing I humanly tried could rescue it.

It bashed me and humiliated me dizzy and senseless to see friends, family and acquaintances and even old class mates watch me in distain reduced to a poor janitor with my arse hanging out my pants.

I had to be reduced to listen and understand, to remember through the craziness what was true. Finally when sweeping the mall totally humiliated and from deep in my heart I closed my eyes and looked up to heaven and called out to Jesus in my mind.

‘ I praise you I bless you, I love and adore you, but Is this the only plan for my life, do you even care ‘. I was very low.

Then a woman walked straight up to me from the crowd and pushed me against a shop glass wall saying.

“ I have got to tell you something. Jesus wants me to tell you something. Jesus wants me to tell you that he loves you, and He definitely has a plan for your life. Does this make sense? “

And I told her that I was only just asking Jesus about this in my head.

To say life since then has been an incredible adventure is a complete understatement.

I knew a man that had a similar experience crying out to God when his life was at a low. (he was handcuffed in the back of a police car). When he was released a muslim approached him to share his muslim faith. He thought God answered his prayer. He is now a muslim. I'm sure God did not lead him there. You are an rc. I'm thinking God did not lead you to that denomination.

Then who was this Jesus that came to me when I cried out to Him from the deepest depths of my soul.

Who was the Holy toddler that reached out and healed my heart with his touch.

He was the same age as me when I woke in the morning in my cot to screaming and wailing in Port Moresby Papuan New Guinea.

I walked out of the house to next door and saw dismembered bodies taken apart by axes and machetes in a pay back raid.
The kind native women that used to cook fried bananas for me when I came over was chopped to pieces.

Jesus healed and took the lasting hurt out of these things, only Jesus could. Only in Jesus sorrows and sufferings are my sorrows and suffering blunted.

I can’t tell the many things Jesus has done in my life. If it’s not your Jesus that hates me and only loves you then that is your business.

And BTW, did that Muslim lead the guy to Jesus. The devil does not have a divided house, he would never lead to Jesus.

If it was Jesus who did all that for you, why do you continue spread the false teachings/doctrines/dogmas of the men of the rc denomination?

When we abide in Jesus at Communion we already enter eternity for a moment, and our bonds to this earth are lessened each time as we are prepared for the Everlasting Feast.

I don't really understand why you posted this in answer to Cathode. He's a Roman Catholic, so I am sure he would not say that Roman Catholicism is not a Christian denomination. What point were you making?

I believe they do not consider themself a denomination.

They consider themsevles "the church"

all others are denominations

I could be wrong. But I believe i have been told this by many a catholic

Ah, now I understand. I thought the earlier post was saying something like, "If the Baptist Board considers Roman Catholicism to be a Christian denomination, then surely we all should." I obviously read the message to quickly and carelessly. Sorry!
