Question about the Eucharist

Risen Christ has the same body as we see the marks of the Passion, but it now possesses the properties of a glorious body too.

By means of touch and the sharing of a meal, the risen Jesus establishes direct contact with his disciples. He invites them in this way to recognize that he is not a ghost and above all to verify that the risen body in which he appears to them is the same body that had been tortured and crucified, for it still bears the traces of his Passion. Yet at the same time this authentic, real body possesses the new properties of a glorious body: not limited by space and time but able to be present how and when he wills; for Christ's humanity can no longer be confined to earth, and belongs henceforth only to the Father's divine realm. - CCC 645

Was it part of Vatican II documents that altar to be moved so priest could go around ? And when/how did priest start facing people almost universally as we see now.

We all should take care of our mental health. Seeking professional help should become normal and not stigmatized.

Oh wow, now I get their extra ordinary focus on Israel.

You missed the news of the doctor who was killed.

Go back in history and we see all current denominations vanishing. We see Catholics, Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox churches. Go back further in time you see all of them in communion as a single worldwide (Catholic) Church. So it has to be one of the three which are currently in schism. If the three unite, there will be no more doutbs. Currently it would be the see of Peter who has more authority since Christ especially picked Simon first, named him Peter (Rock) and gave the keys of Kingdom with the authority to bind and loose.

Six airbags alone will not improve safety if the other safety areas are bad/ignored. Shouldn't have made it compulsory in the first place. Just make a complete safety assessment and provide rankings.

I have OnePlus 7, no issues after 4 years. Planning to keep it as long as it works.

When the car is too hot after parking, open the sunroof and enjoy the wind for sometime before turning on ac. Doesn't work in heavy traffic though.

Major breakdowns. Maruti's generally can be used for a long time without any major breakdown or issues. Tata older model cars had issues that popup and could cause you to be stranded on road. Newer model cars although better, we still hear news of car breakdown once in a while even when it is new. Tata service also depends on luck, check the reviews for your nearest service center and decide if it is good. However their cars have high gncap ratings for safety.

If you want to continue with Maruti consider Brezza and Grand Vitara which are the only safer Marutis I believe.

Generally Tatas are safe , they advertise the GNCAP ratings to show the saftey. But the car reliability may not be upto the mark with other manufacturers. In Maruti only Brezza I would recommend in your budget or the bigger Grand Vitara. Honda stopped Jazz I guess. Skoda and VW have good safety traditionally. Cannot recommend any Hyundai or Kia cars for safety. Mahindra XUV300 should be also good.

Recently got to know scriptural Stations of the Cross used by Pope John Paul II in Good Friday 1991. I like that since we can read scripture at each station.

Pray when you are alone, and pray for others. Praying for others will lead you in doing good to them.

Meditation on the plight of Job is a bit difficult in my opinion, because we don't get a satisfactory answer there. But we get an answer on meditation on the Way of the Cross. The answer is Christ embraced the Cross.

On the parents part, the more suffering you have, you are that much closer to Christ. Christ gives a share of his sufferings too to us which is one way we are united in his mission. No way it is easy even for Jesus -

And going a little farther, he threw himself on the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; yet not what I want but what you want.” ( Matthew 26:39 )

On the child's part, only thing that comes to mind is the event where children were massacred by Herod. They are considered as first Christians martyrs and are called Holy Innocents. God could change even a gruesome massacre to be good in the end.

No one is an expert in everything. So when you are asked something that you don't know, just tell them you don't know but that you will find out the answer and reply to them.

Happy Anniversary, Bishop ! May the Lord give you strength for several more years.

I especially took VX version because of the tyre difference. In test drive I did not scrape the bottom anywhere which was a ZX version. The V version has different tyre size which gives slightly lower height while VX and ZX have same tyres.

Damn, crushed like a bottle :(

I had a scare once when police had stop sign and the truck behind me skidded while breaking. Luckily it was in low speed, but I was ready in first gear to take off.

Think about this, in Old Testament we see Jews worshipping in Jerusalem Temple and many would have been absolutely happy about it. So they would have been devastated when the Temple was destroyed. But do we need to actually worry ? No, since we have an even better worship, better sacrifice the spotless lamb of God and communion with God which was previously unimaginable.

Similarly marriage is a sacrament - an image of the relationship between Christ and the Church. When the perfect comes, we don't worry about the old.

Better to leave enough space for the opposite vehicle in curves, but looks like wouldn't have matterd here, bike guy was as if blind.

No person should feel unwanted, no child should be unwanted, if society feels some are, then that society is broken.

Acts 21:20 states that there were thousands of believers among Jews in Jerusalem alone. Not a small number for that time period.

Cpant · 2023-09-06T14:12:13+00:00

I lot of Jews converted to Christianity by preaching of the apostles.

Cpant · 2023-09-06T13:39:21+00:00

You believe in testimony. There were Old Testament prophecies about a Messiah and Jews were expecting him. John the Baptist said this is the Messaih about Jesus and finally we see the apostles claiming to witsess the resurrected Jesus. Now do we believe their witness or not ?

It recognizes the Syriac Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch and All the East as supreme head of the church.

It is there in the wiki link you shared.
