Fr Michael Payyapilly reflects on the frightened disciples who fail at first to recognise the goodness of Christ standing among them. He invites us not to let pain, anxiety or difficult circumstances blind us to God's goodness, and to hear again through the Eucharist the words of Jesus: Peace be with you.

Fr Michael Payyapilly calls Catholics to know the biblical and apostolic foundations of their faith rather than being unsettled by criticism they have never examined. He reflects on Christ's institution of the Church, Scripture and Tradition, the biblical roots of the Sacraments, the importance of approaching them with faith, and the responsibility to love and strengthen the Church even while acknowledging its human failures.

The Eucharist does not end at the altar. Fr Michael Payyapilly VC reflects on the manna of Exodus, the sending of Peter and the missionary command of Jesus to show how Christ nourishes, moulds and gives His people so they can carry Him into their families, the Church and the world.

The Eucharist reveals what Christ desires to do within us. Fr Michael Payyapilly VC reflects on how Jesus takes us as we are, blesses us in our weakness, and breaks what must change so He can mould us for His purpose and prepare us for eternal life.

Fr Michael Payyapilly VC reflects on the Holy Eucharist as Christ’s gift for the Christian journey towards eternal life. Moving from COVID-era livestreams and striking experiences during Mass to John 6 and the doctrine of transubstantiation, he explains why the Eucharist is more than habit, obligation or fellowship: in Holy Communion we receive Jesus Himself and are gradually conformed to Him.
