O Lord, help us to embrace the difference that comes being a part of that mystic sweet communion of your Church. Amen.
I really enjoy psychological thrillers – movies and shows like Black Mirror, Inception, Memento, and The Matrix. They have mind-bending plots that make you, along with the characters, ask the question “what is real?” As people of faith, this is a question that we constantly contend with – what is real? As we heard in the reading from Ephesians, we are to “see with the eyes of our heart.” We come to know and trust that the least shall be the greatest, that it is more blessed to give than to receive, that death is not final, that in the Eucharist we received the Body and Blood of Jesus. But, constantly, we live in a world that makes us question the reality of our faith.
