We must never allow Eucharist to become rote. It is the most intimate moment we have with God. Eucharist is God becoming incarnate in us. That is God becoming incarnate in us just as He did in Jesus.
Sometimes God has seemed so far beyond my reach, and he was always right here within me, saying, “You are looking the wrong way. Turn around. Look within. I am already here. Rely on me. I’ve got you.”
