A very wise woman said something to me today about the Eucharist. She was speaking about the Eucharist in relation to the communities of Christians who dispute with the Catholic Church about what the sacrament actually is and what Christ actually meant by the words "This is my body."
Here is what she had to say:
"If the Protestants are going to interpret every passage of the Bible literally, then why should they stop here and all of a sudden begin to interpret it figuratively? Furthermore, in their denial of the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist in His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity, they join with those who have turned away from Christ's own words since the very first time he spoke them." (See John 6:66)
