Then the murmurings and prayers under their breath I sometimes hear as the priest lifts the host to the heavens in the consecration, the Catholic senses that Jesus has come to us, not bread, but flesh, just as you say. Perhaps the Catholics' upbringing using these beautiful images enculturates his mind and soul making it easier to embrace the mysteries.<br /> As a protestant, we tended to be a bit more pragmatic. looks like bread, tastes like bread, yeah...it's just bread.Russ Rentler, M.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00659833542780220795noreply@blogger.com
