It is the True Presence of Christ one is receiving not a piece of bread. One has to be in a state of grace before the before receiving the Body of Christ. If one goes to a Polish Church for Sunday Mass you will see large crowds but not all of them receive Holy Communion. At least they recognise the value of the Blessed Sacrament. Unfortunately the Irish are not catechised in this area or taught from the pulpit about the True Presence in the Eucharist. There is a tremendous lack of faith by many, including some Priests in the True Presence. But it is vital to pray for our Priests, they need prayers and prayer does bring change when you pray with faith and pray especially the Divine Mercy prayers which are very powerful as well as making small sacrifices for them. Thank God for our Papal Nuncio who is bringing about much needed positive changes in our Hierarchy. We need joyful, hopeful and Christ centred leadership.
