Excerpt from Homily

The Gospel reading for today was really important. If you haven't read it, go read it online and then come back and read the following excerpt from Fr. Stephanos' homily.

To reject the reality of the Body and the Blood of the Son of God in the Eucharist is ultimately to reject the Son of God himself as born in flesh and blood, dead and risen in flesh and blood.
To receive the Eucharist with faith that it is Christ’s real body and real blood is to make a flesh and blood proclamation that Jesus is the Son of God born, dead and risen in human flesh and blood.
The very Eucharist has preserved authentic Christianity and the authentic teaching of Christ in the world up to this very day, hour and minute.
The Eucharist is the real sign, real instrument and real presence of the Son of God Incarnate in real flesh and blood.
Without the Eucharistic Flesh and Blood of Christ, the Church, the Christian faith, would likely have died out at its very beginning.
