Christ's Second Coming is meant to 'Save those who are eagerly waiting for him'. This is why participation in the Eucharist is so important for a believing Christian, for whom Jesus provided his 'new and living way' of celebrating his presence amongst us in the form of the Eucharist. His instruction was: "Do this to remember me until I come again" - EVEN SO, COME, LORD JESUS! This is one reason why I want to help in the Celebration of the Eucharist while I have breath in my body.Father Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17062632692873621258noreply@blogger.com
