Sprechen Sie Jesus? (Do you speak Jesus)



 I was on LifeTeen.com and i came across this artical. what got me to it was a link in german Sprechen Sie Jesus? meaning i really don't know but it was thing

Dieses ist mein Körper; dieses ist mein Blut meaning this is my body this is my blood. the artical exerpt will get into more detail and i will inculed the link to the whole artical.

4 years ago I posted a blog about an article found on Lifeteen.com I thought it was amazing and I want to talk about it again. Just because I can...This is an blurb  from the article sadly it isn't on the website anymore...
 
"Although I had no idea what this local priest was talking about in his homily I knew exactly what was happening a few minutes later when he lifted the host and then the cup up and prayed, "Dieses ist mein Körper; dieses ist mein Blut." "This is my body; this is my blood."

It was the words of consecration and in German or in English I understood what was happening; Transubstantiation, at consecration the bread and wine become the body and blood of Jesus. Jesus was truly in my midst right there in Cologne, Germany; just like He is there when I attend a mass in California, Louisiana, or Arizona. Wherever and whenever the mass is prayed, one thing always happens - Jesus shows up, no matter what language is spoken. And that is why I am Catholic."

When I think about this it makes me feel very  full inside. Because my friends think about it, We are the only people who can say this about our faith. It is truly Universal. If you go the chapel service in Akron and then go to Christ Community church service (not even 10 mins away from one another) it is drastically different the style, the preacher will preach on something completely different, and the music won't even be close to the same.  But as Catholics when you go to mass whether it is at Queen of Heaven, St. Mary's in Mass. Ohio, Nativity, St. Francis, St. Paul's they are all the same. You could go to the Mass in Texas and it is going to be the same. Isn't that amazing? I am in awe of it. How can over 1.1 billion people be on the same page every week, every Mass, and fully in belief... There is only ONE and it is US the CATHOLIC CHURCH amazing, huh?
