Honoring the Eucharist with Reverence, A Homily with Fr. Matthew Barnum

Father Matthew Barnum is a dear friend of Fr. Dom and a very holy man. We are pleased to share his homily from what he calls the 2nd Sunday of Corpus Christi. He discusses the importance of reverencing the Holy Eucharist and guarding against any disrespect or mishandling of it. He emphasizes the need for everyone, not just priests, to protect the Eucharist and ensure its proper treatment. Fr. Barnum draws parallels between the reverence shown to earthly kings and the reverence that should be shown to the King of Kings in the Eucharist. He also highlights the significance of paying close attention to the consecration and distribution of the Eucharist during Mass.TakeawaysEveryone has a responsibility to guard and protect the Holy Eucharist.The Eucharist is the complete and total fullness of Christ, body and blood, soul and divinity.Paying close attention to the consecration and distribution of the Eucharist is crucial.Treating the Eucharist with reverence is a sign of our love and devotion to Christ.Sound Bites"In the smallest crumb of the Holy Eucharist is the complete and total fullness of Christ, body and blood, soul and divinity.""No, every one of you, every one of the faithful present at Mass must also guard and preserve the Holy Eucharist."Send us a text Support the showPlease prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our Buy Me A Coffee page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!
