There is a risk that in focussing so much on the external reality of the Blessed Sacrament
offered in the Holy Mass and reserved for adoration and communion of the sick
between masses that we neglect the very real presence of the Eucharistic Jesus
in us in the moments, hours and days following Holy Communion. We should
receive with the same attitude and expectation that we might have that this
could be my last communion. Today’s Gospel reading from Matthew about the
transfiguration of the Lord reminds us that death and resurrection are never
far even as Jesus’ transfigured being was revealed to his disciples in a moment
of profound insight and joy.
Our bodies and souls live in hope, awaiting the glory that
faith assures us will one day be ours.
