Essay for Corpus Christi | Jun 12, '07 7:07 PM for everyone |
Christ Jesus is really present in the form of the bread and of the wine not by fauth but in reality. Eventhough one dont believe in it, he/she must give respect. The bread transfigures into the true body of Christ, while the wine into his blood. It is done during the consecration, the heart of the Holy Mass. Protestant dont believe in the real presence of Christ in the bread. They only believe that the bread is a symbolism for the body of Christ. So as Catholics we are blessed to have this belief in the real presence of Jesus in the form of the bread.
Now these days, sacrilege is widely practised, I read that one posted in ebay a consecrated host is posted for bidding, The seller stated that he will not go to hell because he is not Catholic, but surely he will gain point that he will go to hell, because he disrespect one's religion.
In schools, I now declare that I hate communion by hands in schools. Some of the students make sacrilege in the Host and doubting in thereal presence of Christ in the Holy Host. They make fun of the Holy Host. Proper security must be held on the Holy Communion. One must sure that the Host is eaten not being mocked.
So as our action in this great feast we must have our petition to our bishop regarding this sacrilegeous act. That communion in hand must be banned in the schools to stop this sacrilegeous act.
By the way, the doctrine of the holy Catholic church that the wine that is consecrated is the real blood of Christ, so I as my personal opinion that the Holy wine is MORE authentic and Holy than the Relic of the Blood of Christ.
