The hiding place
of God, the revelation place of God, is the material world.
You don’t have
to put spirit and matter together; they have been together ever since the Big
Bang, 14.6 billion years ago (see Genesis 1:1-2 and John 1:1-5). You have to get on your knees and recognize this
momentous truth as already and always so. The Eucharist offers
microcosmic moments of belief, and love of what is cosmically true. It will
surely take a lifetime of kneeling and surrendering, trusting and letting go,
believing and saying, “How could this be true?” Gandhi also said, "If I really
believed what you believe, I wouldn't get up from my knees." The only trouble is
that many fervent Christians kneel before the Eucharistic Body of Christ but not
the Human Body of Christ that Paul brilliantly describes (1 Corinthians 12:12-26). Remember, it is much easier for God
to transform bread than to transform people, and the bread is for the sake of
the people.
