    Why can't the bread & wine be the body & blood of the Lord?

    When John the Baptist said "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world" he was not speaking figuratively. Jesus is the lamb of God. Jesus does take away the sins of the world.

    Why can't the bread & wine be the body & blood of the Lord?

    It is not the bread that is said to figuratively represent anything it is the flesh that is said to do that and the thing that the flesh is said to figuratively represent is the Holy Spirit. Thus Clement of Alexandria is not teaching that the bread & wine are symbolic of the body and blood of...

    The third commandment.

    Worry and anxiety are poor quality means of change for the world. Prayer and faith are mysterious means of changing the world. Normal work and effort are effective means of changing some things in the world. Ultimately the one and only way for the world to change is for God to change it.

    Some thoughts on Easter

    I hear people repeat "amen" in many contemporary church meetings. How is that different from repeating "Have mercy Lord" or "Lord hear our Prayer"? That'd be because they are asking for many people, as their names come to mind, that the Lord have mercy on them for the sake of his sorrowful...

    Pulpit and Pen on Eastern Orthodoxy

    The first mass I ever attended - as an adult - was a Good Friday service. The priest who presided was young, inexperienced, and a rather poor speaker. He's probably much improved by now. They chanted in places and that surprised me. They had the musicians in a loft at the back of the church...

    Knowing the end from the beginning ...

    Knowing the end of everything from the beginning of everything. The thread is about God's knowledge. That's why I wrote the original post like this: "Would knowing the end from the beginning make for indifference towards the actors playing out the plan or would it promote pathos mixed with joy?"

    Joy within the Mystery of Abiding

    Jesus taught that abiding in him was a matter of obedience as well as other things. I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch of mine that bears no fruit, he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already made...

    MORNING If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will. And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him. Lev. 1:3, 4 God will provide...
