Daily Meditation: Jesus Living Among Us

DAILY MEDITATION   Jesus Living Among Us October 7  Photo courtesy of V. Dobson 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.  For further reflection... "As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world." - John 17: 18 (NIV) Your response... Where do you see Jesus living among you? Comment on this Daily Meditation.
