As Catholics, we believe that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist – Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. This mystery is so profound that even the saints spent their lives contemplating it with wonder.
St Teresa of Calcutta once said: “When you look at the crucifix, you understand how much Jesus loved you then. When you look at the Sacred Host, you understand how much Jesus loves you now.”
When introducing children to the Eucharist, perhaps our first task is not to explain every detail, but to help them wonder.
