Finding Jesus; In his Love, Forgiveness, and his Holy Eucharist!

Finding Jesus; In his Love, Forgiveness, and his Holy Eucharist!

To identify with Christ is to seek these attributes that are his very divine signs of eternal life through the Holy Trinity.  

Finding God, within himself, the Holy Trinity, we unlock the very prejudices towards Catholicism and the misunderstanding that has arisen over many years of disbelieving what we teach regarding what the Passion of Christ was sent to reveal to man; the Truth of his Incarnation.  

Going beyond the reason for his Incarnation and the journey Jesus would take which would create a path for every sinner (which is every human being) to find what Love and Forgiveness would mean and become our carte-blanch to eternal happiness with God.  The season of Lent should not be the only eventful period that we might find and recognize there is a way to be forgiven for our sinfulness, due to weaknesses that are instilled in us through the devil and his own prideful attitude towards God.  However, it is a period in the annals of the Holiness of God where we are reminded of what sin will do to us if we do not adhere to the Suffering Servant of God and his willingness to become the sacrifice of an innocent Lamb; The Lamb of God!   (see Is chapters 42 ff - 52-53). 

One certain truth is that living a life that is selfish and self-centered towards anyone is bound to bring an indescribable outcome upon any of us who refuse the grace of God that can only come through a humble heart.   Looking at the path Jesus walked on the Via Dolorosa to Calvary should be enough to find humility from even the most hardened sinner if he/she could stand by as he passed, bleeding, falling three times, and saying, “do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.”   (Lk 23: 28). 

 If your heart is so hardened that this scene has no personal grief for you, then perhaps the sign of personal attrition is absent and the hope of mercy is more than an arm's length from you.

It is through our devotion to and personal belief in the Real Presence of Christ’s Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Eucharistic bread that we receive in Holy Communion that will make a difference in our Finding Jesus Christ.
