Deepening Our Faith in the Eucharist (Jn 6:51-58)

For me, with an engineering background, it’s been a long struggle to appreciate the Eucharist and the great gift it is. I used to think it was such an arbitrary idea. Why would God be present in a piece of bread? But now I realize it makes tremendous sense, historically, scripturally, and theologically. But still it requires faith to believe, and perhaps that’s the greatest beauty of it! We will never be able to fully understand God and all he has done to save us, and to be with us, but let us come in faith and humility and receive and be transformed from within.
