For coming off a back-to-back situation from having the Into The Breach conference last week, we were surprised at how many men joined us this morning. And we welcomed six guys who joined us for the first time: Thomas, Robert, Kenny, Steve, John and Michael. It was great to have all of you there!
Chris led us in a discussion on the importance of the Eucharist, and the challenge Catholics face with our belief in the True Presence of Christ. Kenny gave a great analogy about how we receive the Eucharist. He reminded us that when we eat a juicy steak, that meal will either become muscle or fat within us - depending on how well we take care of our bodies. Likewise, we need to take proper care of ourselves when we receive the Eucharist - treating our bodies as the temple God intended - so that Jesus can affect amazing change within us.
