Holy Communion (2)

Can you imagine? The created in union with the Creator. The Creator within the created. "He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood dwells in me and I in him." (John 6:56) Our distance with God at that moment is not a million miles away, but it is zero distance. At that moment, He is no longer that Almighty King who sit high up in Heaven, He become a kindly Father, a longing Lover. We share and converse with Him who we are, what we got, what we have gone through, what we want to ask for...He exchange with us His Love, His Blessings, His Grace, His Answers… If you truly believe then you will understand how beautiful and how wonderful this is. Communion with God, is like a man finally knows his roots, like a lost child finally find his mother; then one finally knows the meaning and purpose of life. One may also easily finds the word 'communion' sounds like 'come-union', and indeed Holy Communion is a Divine Invitation, therefore we need to prepare ourselves carefully for such an important and holy moment. How? If you need to find your best dress or suit to go to a wedding, then for a spiritual feast you will also need to make sure your spiritual garment is beautiful and clean enough to attend - your soul. To do so, we must examine our conscience, and if conscious of a grave sin then we must go to Confession. And when we worthily received Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist, this deepen union with Christ can transform our lives, not only it preserves, increases and renews the life of grace received at Baptism, strengthen our charity, even cleanse us from past sins and preserve us from future sins even mortal sins.
