Eucharist : Our Mission

Eucharist is the real mission, the actual dedication to the work of God. All God's work is about witnessing. When we assist at Mass and receieve the Eucharist, we do more work than the greatest evangelist. How lovely on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, this statement is perfectly about him who receives the Eucharist.What wonder a willing heart who devoutly and submissively receives the Eucharist can wrought. The more we believe and trust, the more we benefit from this great wonder, but, not knowing or not caring to know, yet receiving this food of angels is what brings ills to people. Morality should not hinder us, it is our lack of desire, lack of passion and unbelief in this wonder of wonders that is the real great harm.Believing or not, Christ goes on with His work, and part of this is to make us believe, to make us see, and the more we resist this love, the more we suffer, that is why it is he who abandons himself the most to the working of the Eucharist who sees the most, and he who resists suffers,he cannot submit and often calls love punishment. That was why Paul made reference to those who receive the Eucharist and are sick and those who die, it is not immorality as much as unbelief,i-dont-care-ism.It is only through our reception of Him that He can actively engage with the world, we bring Him to the world again. He is love, the Word, and it is through this Word, which is truth that the world is renewed, the whole essence of our battle is against lie and that is what Chris who is in us in the Eucharist does .In one of the Eucharistic proclamation, and also the scripture, we say: when we eat this bread and drink this cup, we proclaim the Lord's death. This proclamation of His death is witnesing, it is mission and it is our sole calling as christians, we do it perfectly simply by receiving the Eucharist in faith!This is what renews the whole world and brings it peace, even while we go about our normal daily duty, as long as we are passionate and we keep this memory of the Eucharist alive, we need not worry so much about our lack of charisma for evangelism which often is proselytism, our witness herein becomes very pure and devoid of personal selfish interest, it becomes universal,unlike evangelism which is confined to time and space. We become truelly like the sower (afurugbin)and through this Eucharist, we effect a great lot than relying on our myopic heart and ideas. What glory ours is. Surely if we keep faithful to the Eucharist, as Christ Himself admonishes us to labour for this(labour not for the meat that perish, but that which endures to eternal life) ,we shall surely be of the lot that ask Him of the positive 'when'( when did we see you hungry...).The Jews asked Christ in what this labour, this work consists, and He answered them : 'believe'. Our sole work is to endeavour to believe and trust more in this wonder of God, the Eucharist. We can only improve our belief by being with Him through an active communication with the Eucharist.Sin kills belief, it is a real cankerworm, yet we should not succumb to this temptation, our sins should not keep us aloof, it is being made up by the faith of the church, which is principally what we are also working at building through an active participation in the Eucharist!
