What if life really has meaning?  What if there is a reason to be joyful in this life?  What if, in the end, life has a happy ending? What if you could have peace in this life?  What if you could have that peace every day, no matter what happens to you?  What would it take for these possibilities to become a reality?

I accept Christ into my entire being (1 Thess. 5:23) at each Holy Communion. This acceptance is not mere intellectual assent, nor is it mindless mechanics. Rather, I freely unite my entire self (body, blood, and soul) with Christ and thus receive his entire self (body, blood, soul, and divinity) (Jn. 6:51, 1 Cor. 10:16, 1 Cor. 11:29). Therefore, Jesus is really present in the host at Communion.
