Jesus didn’t say “This is like my body.” He said, “This is my body.” The early Church took Him literally—and so should we.

Why do Catholics kneel during Mass? Because we believe the Eucharist is Jesus. Not a symbol. Not a memory. A divine encounter.

If you believed Jesus was truly present in the Eucharist…
Would you miss Mass? Would you kneel differently? Would you return home?

The early Church didn’t debate the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. They preached it, protected it, and passed it down. It's not new. It’s ancient. It’s Catholic.

John 6:51 – “The bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.” Many left Jesus because of this teaching. He didn’t call them back to clarify—it was literal then, and now.

Sunday as a day of rest—thank Christianity for that gift of time and renewal.
