A Prodigious Love – Transformation

Does reception of the Eucharist really affect our way of thinking, our way of making important choices, or our way of relating to others?

Does the Eucharist influence how we understand ourselves and our identity as Christians?

In a famous passage, St. Augustine depicts Christ as saying, "I am your food, but instead of my being changed into you, it is you who will be transformed into me."

Most of the time "transformation" doesn't happen quickly or overnight.

But perhaps we are right to expect that receiving Christ's body and blood will have life-changing, long-term effects.
