Sent Out as Manna: The Earthly Purpose of the Eucharist

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 Is Preparing You 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.
