It's all or nothing.

A blessed Easter to each and every one of you. We celebrate Easter for eight days because the joy of the Resurrection cannot be contained to just one day. And let's talk about that joy and plugging into it.

First, let's be clear from the outset. If you do not worthily receive Holy Communion — the Real Presence of Jesus Christ, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity — you are playing with fire, eternal fire.

Despite all the good "feelings" and "emotions" over the Resurrection, those will evaporate for those who willfully disregarded or rejected the Divine Master's command to eat my Body and drink my Blood. How a person feels about Jesus or parts of His life or some of His teachings is entirely meaningless. What matters is the truth, nothing else.

Our Lord Himself directly connected the necessity of eating and drinking His Body and Blood to the Resurrection. In the synagogue at Capernaum, in front of the disbelieving Jews, He said, "He who eats My Body and drinks My Blood abides in Me, and I will raise him up on the last day."

The real Church — the only Church, the Catholic Church — has held and taught this from the very beginning. Normatively speaking, a person who rejects the Real Presence is damned. That is what the Incarnate Eternal Logos said, not Michael Voris, not Church Militant but the Son of God: "Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His Blood, you have no life within you."
