Imagination is how we all access what is most real to us, and Ignatian imaginative prayer reveals how what happens in our prayers can be the most real thing of all.
This was gold. Thank you Jase for putting it out there.
It made me consider something I’ve heard about the Catholic imagination. I think this is accurate: that every mass is living out both the Last Supper and the Wedding Banquet. The priest is Jesus. All is condensed into one divine meal together- all peoples, all histories, one meal.
Thank you my friend, for reading and that thought. I am reading more on the eucharist as real presence. We are re-membered to christ in the Eucharist, but we also participate in the body of christ, he consumes us. Augustine said the spirit changes us into the body of Christ, by what we eat. In a consumer culture, we are joined to, and incorporated into all we eat, view and 'consume'. With Christ the Eucharist is the doorway into Christ consuming us.
Thank you for sharing this deeply personal experience. I pray that Jesus continue to lead you in ways that help grow the Kingdom. And I pray for his leading in my own life as well.
I love this. Feel inspired to go imagine…
Wonderful :-)

PS, I also love The Chosen!
