Allen Hunt used to be the pastor of a mega church but finally discovered the reality of the Catholic Church. Over 20 years God planted seeds in his heart that led him dwelling to the Church where he found a number of “hidden treasures” within the Church. These treasures will not be simply the fact that the Catholic Church feeds, clothes, and aids extra people than some other organization within the world. Allen used to be the pastor of the third largest mega church within the country, wherein 30-40% of its members occur to be ex-Catholics. When he finished college, he went to get his doctorate at Yale and have become buddies with a Dominican priest who invited him to a cloistered monastery. When visiting he was asked why he was not a member of the Church. Allen’s response was that the Eucharist was one thing he believed to be symbolic. The cloistered nun pointed him to the Gospels at the Last Supper and to John 6. This was the primary seed of Allen changing into Catholic. Later, he discovered that the early Christians had been willing to be martyred, to die, as a result of they believed that the Eucharist was the physique and blood of Jesus.

Allen began going to the Catholic Church on the four Sunday’s he had off per year. He went there as a result of he knew what he was going to get – it’s exactly the identical it doesn’t matter what state or nation you are in. All of it focuses on the altar, the centerpiece of worship. It isn’t concerning the sermons and music; it’s concerning the altar and the Eucharist where Jesus feeds us. You may have the identical physique and blood of Christ wherever you go. For the first 1,a hundred years of Christianity, there’s not a single piece of proof anyplace of anybody ever suggesting the Church was improper in its interpretation of the Eucharist.

In the Eucharist, Jesus places Himself into us in probably the most intimate way. We are the people of the Eucharist. We either cooperate with the grace of God or we block the grace of God. Once we obtain Communion, we ask God to fill us with His grace. Always keep in mind who you might be – we’re the people of the Eucharist, the physique, blood, soul, and divinity of our King, Jesus Christ. In Communion, we’re His and He’s ours.
