Dear Catholics, let’s be super-clear about something. The reason to be a Catholic is Jesus in the Eucharist. A priest would never be so great that he is better than the Eucharist. And a priest would never be so bad that it makes any sense to go to a non-Catholic church and lose the Eucharist. Priests should work hard on their homilies and try to connect with you but don’t get distracted. Mass isn’t about the person standing upfront. It’s about the Person in the Tabernacle. Priests will come and go: funny priests, smart priests, short priests, tall priests, young priests, old priests. Only the Eucharist remains. It is the most important thing. If the Eucharist isn’t really Jesus, go to another church where there is more music, more preaching, that will make more sense. But if the Eucharist is Jesus and you want Jesus, then it makes no sense to go anywhere else. Excerpts from Fr. David Michael Moses homily #copied
