I have the most personal relationship with Jesus because I eat His flesh and drink His blood in the Eucharist, as Jesus commanded us to do in John 6:52-70( i tihnk so). I become one with Christ during Holy Communion.
I feel always at ease after Mass like the Lord is inside me to protect me haha. -
huh .. so this is your definition of personal?Originally posted by Pope Nicholas:I have the most personal relationship with Jesus because I eat His flesh and drink His blood in the Eucharist, as Jesus commanded us to do in John 6:52-70( i tihnk so). I become one with Christ during Holy Communion.

I'd expect someone to say "the Lord and I had a conversation last night".Originally posted by Pope Nicholas:why?
But seriously la .. it is kinda shallow because Holy Communion cannot take place all the time. So other time you cannot be personal liao issit? -

Holy Communion is the MOST personal part fer me. Well prayer also. -
Well, I dun really "consume" Jesus like you do.Originally posted by Pope Nicholas:Tell us more abt ur relationship wif Christ. Does he talk to you, or do u consume him physically during Mass etc etc. How has ur life changed.
But I think ever since I received Christ, I have that special someone whom I can talk to whenever I feel burdened.
And yes, I leave my life wih God and I am ready to see him any time. -

If you place your illumination overhead, nothing will be in shadows. -
My relationship with Christ is something hard to describe...its like having someone who's really perfect to have fellowship with. He filled me with His Spirit such that i can pray in heavenly languages (i'm pentacostal), He is there whenever i seek Him, be it in blessings or tribulations. He takes my worries away when i lay it out and speak to Him. He guides me in things i do by either talking to me, giving confirmation, giving me a sense of peace. He makes me feel loved and wanted, fills me with the Joy of the Spirit, the exuberant joy of being able to worship God the Father and being able to praise the Name of Jesus..the things He does in me makes me never want to throw this relationship away, its more than juz a religion, its a relation...its more than juz finding salvation...its the kinda degree of warmth and love and acceptance that u will never ever find in someone else in the world... Hee wad to say...I LOVE JESUS

The latter is really real presence .. as for the former it remains to be seen. -

Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you.
54
Whoever eats 19 my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.
55
For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
56
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.
57
Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me.
58
This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever."
59
These things he said while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
60
20 Then many of his disciples who were listening said, "This saying is hard; who can accept it?" (protestant)
61
Since Jesus knew that his disciples were murmuring about this, he said to them, "Does this shock you?
62
What if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? 21
63
It is the spirit that gives life, while the flesh 22 is of no avail. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
64
But there are some of you who do not believe." Jesus knew from the beginning the ones who would not believe and the one who would betray him.
65
And he said, "For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by my Father."
66
As a result of this, many (of) his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him. (protestant)67
Jesus then said to the Twelve, "Do you also want to leave?"
68
Simon Peter answered him, "Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. (catholic) -
