Father Tom Wilson joins Patrick to discuss Spiritual Hunger and the Eucharist
- What is Spiritual hunger?
- (7:18) What should we be looking for when it comes to spiritual hunger?
- Why is it a blessing to be hungry?
(20:07) Break 1
- (22:02) What happens when people say they are not being fed?
- (27:49) Sebastian – in my experience, I have relied on my relationship with Jesus with my attempt of fidelity to Him with constantly a sense of anxiety. I have a family member who grew up Catholic and eventually became protestant. He gives the impression that he’s living the sense of bliss and roll with the punches by the use of psychedelics. I don’t feel the need to use them.
- Annette – Not Catholic, but watch mass etc. Spiritual hunger for me is when I’m not in my daily reading devotions. That’s when I huger for God most because I’m out of place.
(39:28) Break 2
- (41:00) Colleen – Eucharist and presence of Christ. Years ago, my husband and I (dating) I remember receiving Christ and then going to my husband’s church (Lutheran) and he wasn’t there. It’s in your soul…you know when he’s there, in the Eucharist.
- Is it ever appropriate to abstain from communion to build up our spiritual hunger?
- Patrick shares an email about receive
- Mayra – I was raised without any faith. Found myself in a Baptist church at age 10. As the pastor held up the bread, he said we’re only doing this to remember Jesus. He said the words, this is my body given up for you. I had a long faith journey and I feel learning about the Eucharist was the easiest part because I already believed that was the body and blood of Christ.
