“Do Catholics really eat God?” This question delves into the belief in the Eucharist and its significance in Catholic faith. The discussion also touches on the changes brought by Vatican II, the appropriateness of addressing minor issues with a visiting priest, and the role of personal expressions during Mass for those from different backgrounds.

Prayer for God’s Mercy by St. Jerome
Show me, O Lord, Your mercy, and delight my heart with it. Let me find You whom I so longingly seek. Behold, here is the man whom the robbers seized, manhandled, and left half dead on the road to Jericho. Kind-hearted Samaritan, come to my aid! I am the sheep who wandered into the wilderness. Seek after me and bring me home again to Your fold. Do with me according to Your Will, that I may abide with You all the days of my life, and praise You with all those who are with You in heaven for all eternity. Amen.
