Meditation During Mass

The Eucharist is perfect because it is the perfect metaphor for the one who is truly present in it. It is real, living, yet essentially silent, inscrutable. And, like the gospel message itself, it is brought to us via the work of imperfect humans. It is otherworldly, yet it breaks through the silence of heaven by becoming true human matter. It can't be scientifically verified, but can only be approached and appreciated through the gift of faith.
