Guest House Daily Reflections

Last August Pope Leo reminded Catholics of what we often forget: “The Eucharist is celebrated not only at the altar but also in daily life – where we can experience everything as an offering and giving of thanks.”  Pope Leo is telling us what St Paul told the Corinthians in the New Testament’s first account of the Eucharist:  You and your brothers and sisters (especially the poor) are the body and blood of Christ as much as the bread on the altar is the Body of Christ.  Pay attention to both of them!
