imagine the communion table stretching on for miles, to remind us that when we take Communion, we mysteriously feast with all those who are in Christ.4 In the Eucharist we commune with Dorothy Day and Saint Augustine, the apostle Paul and Billy Graham, Flannery O’Connor and my own grandmother. One day we will all feast together, in the flesh, with Christ himself.

He maintains that when, by faith, we share in the one eucharistic body, the Spirit makes us one ecclesial body. As Augustine would put it, we become what we have received. Or, as de Lubac famously phrases it, the Eucharist makes the church.

shall be conducted to the summit of the mountain called Calvary…There, fastened and crucified upon the Cross… Year of the creation of the world 5233, the 25th day of March.” 28, 29 Mary at Garabandal, Spain gives many clues for the date of March 25, 2016, as the day of the Warning. The feast of St. Imelda, considered a Eucharistic martyr, is on May 12, and must fall on a Thursday for the day of the Miracle sign. The Miracle sign has to be within a year of the Warning. The only years left at this time for the Miracle sign on a Thursday the 12th, are 2016, or 2022. The events must take place during the time of Pope Benedict, now Emeritus. In 2016, the Pope Emeritus Benedict will be 89 years. The date of March 25 in 2016 is on a Good Friday. March 25 is the original date of Jesus crucifixion and death according to Tertullian and Hippolytus and Augustine.
Bruce Cyr (After The Warning 2016)
Do we Catholics adore bread when we pay adoration to the Blessed Sacrament? No; we do not adore bread, for no bread is there, but the most sacred Body and Blood of Christ, and wherever Christ is, adoration is due Him by man and angels. St. Augustine says: "No one partakes of the Body until he has first adored and we not only do not sin when we adore It, but would sin if we did not adore It." The Council of Trent excommunicates those who assert that it is not allowable to adore Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, in the Blessed Sacrament. How unjust are those unbelievers who sneer at this adoration, when it has never entered into the mind of any Catholic to adore the external appearance of this Sacrament, but the Savior hidden under the appearances; and how grievously do those indifferent Catholics sin who show Christ so little veneration in this Sacrament, and seldom adore Him if at all!
Leonard Goffiné (The Church's Year)
Preaching on the Eucharist in his Homily on the Feast of Pentecost, Augustine says to his congregation, “You are the mystery that is placed upon the Lord’s table. You receive the mystery that is yourself. To that which you are, you will respond, Amen.
