John also uses the phrase “Remain in me, and I will remain in you.”John.15.4
As Jesus describes the vine analogy.
I find this phrase fabulous because it is counter intellectual. How can two entities remain in each other? But of course Christ is not an “entity”.
Deacon I know the Eucharist is central to the Catholic faith but somehow I suspect there is a danger of treating it like a means to an end. Would someone who takes the Eucharist 6 days a week be closer to God than the once a week church goer, once a month, once a year?
Surely there must be a multitude of factors that contribute to a mature spiritual progression in one’s life?
How can we not treat the Eucharist as a “God pill”?
Hi Andre, I agree - reverence, belief and awareness.
But approach it with the reverence it deserves?
Amen. I’m in!
