Coming Out of Egypt Again: Manna of the Blessed Sacrament

About this sermon

Like the Jews of old, the spiritual taste buds of many Catholics have become dulled. Many are treating this Most Sacred Nourishment as if It were worthless or meaningless. The Most Blessed of all Sacraments has been disdained with liturgical abuse and sacrilegious communions. Catholics stuck in Egypt are sinfully consuming the heavenly Manna meant for those traveling to the New Jerusalem. Communicants in league with pharaoh are inviting Christ to enter souls filled with demons. Those that are in mortal sin, spiritually dead, are receiving the Sacrament of the Risen and Living Lord. And this is especially true in the case of public figures who boldly approach the Holy of Holies with the blood of innocents upon their hands. Such persons arouse the Heavenly Father’s Wrath Who Hates the sacrilegious mistreatment of His Divine Son. You know, in the old days, confession lines were long, but lines for Holy Communion were short. But this extreme of the past has been replaced by another and far worse extreme. Communion lines are lengthening while Confession lines are shrinking, even non-existent. It is time to have the mind of Christ and the Church to find a balance that avoids both extremes. The Holy Eucharist is a remedy for those who are sick and wounded, but not for the dead. While it is good that people no longer fear to approach the altar when in the state of venial sin and with many faults and imperfections, it is not proper that one should become so familiar with the Divine Physician as to approach Him spiritually dead. It would not only be useless to receive Holy Communion in such a state, for spiritual corpses cannot eat, but it would also be a sacrilegious Communion. Never invite Christ into a soul filled with Egypt where Pharaoh is enthroned. For more please visit http://www.reginaprophetarum.org & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest
