"Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.'"

Others think of receiving Holy Communion as an encounter with Christ but do not embrace full communion with His Body, the Church. In this presentation, Msgr. Pope explores the deeper meaning behind receiving Holy Communion, and explains the admonition that we receive the Eucharist worthily lest we bring condemnation upon ourselves. Learn why limiting the Sacrament to practicing Catholics in a state of grace is both wise and charitable.
