Homilies about union with God

Why Catholics are 'Cannibals': Understanding the Eucharist as God's Greatest Gift

Father Ian

The homily for the Solemnity of Corpus Christi explains the profound meaning of the Eucharist as a true sacrifice and covenant, reversing the ancient human practice of offering the best of earth to God. Instead, God offers His very best—Jesus Christ—to humanity, filling the 'God-sized hole' in our hearts and uniting heaven and earth. The priest addresses the historical accusations of cannibalism against Christians, reframing them as a misunderstanding of the greatest gift God could give.
