On The Most Holy Eucharist Again:
In the Protestant thinking; well most it; the Most Holy Eucharist is just a symbol. But, they know Holy Scripture and I'm sure one time they read the Gospel of John; does Jesus say it is a symbol and goes after the people? No, because they understood what He was saying. Starting off He used the greek word for eat; after that it was knaw and chew; why use those verbs if it was a symbol? It doesn't make sense; because, it is not a symbol. He said, "eat my flesh and drink my blood because my flesh is true food indeed and my blood is true drink indeed. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood have eternal life within him and I shall raise him up on the last day."
Most of the time when they say it is a symbol; it is out of ignorance and hatred; because they were not taught the faith and also they feel jealous and envy; because they have studied their Catholic faith outside the Church and can't believe what they have left; Jesus Himself; to find Him in a Church that is made by man; a protestant church.
They are angered that they never knew that and complaining to the Catholics, "Why didn't you teach me this? I would of stayed in the True Church." Then the Catholics would reply, "Why didn't you ask for us to teach you and help you know your faith better?"
Yes, the ex-Catholics who left the Church for that reason and when they find out on their own; never think you can't come back. If you think you can't come back; that is the devil saying that to you. You can come back to the Sacrament of Confession and get all cleaned up and then when you receive the Most Holy Eucharist after all that learning; your eyes will be open and full of joy and happiness.
The Eucharist is our true joy and happiness: because the Eucharist is God. God is our true joy and happiness. Earthly things bring earthly joys and Heavenly things; bring true joys that the human person truly desires.
To have and experience these joys that will continue and never die out after a while; go to Confession and make a good Confession; plus change your life; convert your life from sinful to where you aren't in that certain life style or place; so you don't have to be where sin is; but you will be tempted; temptations are not sins. But, if you go every five days or a week or two weeks to Confession; you will be protecting your soul greatly but the temptations will become stronger and harder to fight off; trust me; I go every five days up to two weeks; the temptations of impurity come hard at you and if you can't stand your ground; you will fall and I have fallen but I've got back up and went back to Confession; most of the time in tears.
After Confession is Sunday Mass; when I receive Jesus with a clean soul; my tears and your tears will be dried up or turn into tears of joy. Be like the greatful leper; go back and thank Him by staying after Mass and pray; spend time with Him.
He wants us to thank Him and not be like the other nine lepers who ran off to the temple without coming back and thanking Him and worshiping Him. God healed your soul and fed it with His body and blood; your soul should be dancing when you do this; because your newly cleansed soul is longing for food and you give it the best food; The Most Holy Eucharist; the body and blood of Jesus Christ; Our Lord and God.
We must remember; earthly joys last for short moments; Heavenly joys; which comes from duel Sacraments; Confession first and then eating and drinking the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
God bless
