The HOST

I thought of Jesus in the Host. When I look at Him, I see all that He went through to get to this point. To become bread, to be food for the soul - for my soul. I cannot see Him without seeing all that He did for me, leaving Heaven to be with me. Becoming a dependant baby, child, teenager, leaving home to travel, have followers, preach and teach. Then to suffer - seriously suffer, allow death to His human and divine body, to rise and live. To become bread and live in the bread, making it holy food for the body and soul. Why? For me to eat, so that I can join Him in Heaven where He came from. He went through a lifetime to be with me. So, I can look at Him, consume Him and become Him whom I eat and drink. What an a mazing God we have to do all this for one soul.

The Host - contains all of this in it. It contains every good, all love - The Blessed Trinity, All of Heaven - every virtue. I get to consume Him, that He may consume me.
