Sunday October 7, 2012      Jesus Living Among Us   The Eucharist is the place where Jesus becomes most present to us because he becomes not only the Christ living within us but also the Christ living among us.  Just as the disciples at Emmaus who had recognised Jesus in the breaking of the bread discovered a new intimacy between themselves and found the courage to return to their friends, we who have received the Body and Blood of Jesus will find a new unity among ourselves.  As we realise that Christ lives within us, we also come to realise that Christ lives among us and makes us into a body of people witnessing together to the presence of Christ in the world.     Comment on this Daily Meditation.   Visit our website for inspiration, resources, news, events, community.
