Don’t Take Jesus for Granted

“He emptied Himself… even to death on a cross.” (Philippians 2:7-8) On this Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, Fr. Josh Luttig invites us to reflect deeply on the radical humility of Christ — from the Incarnation to the Cross to the Holy Eucharist, where Jesus makes Himself our very food. This homily includes: -A powerful reflection on the downward movement of God’s love -How the Cross reveals Christ’s humility and our worth -Real-life instruction following a consecrated host found in the parking lot Practical and pastoral teaching on how to: -Prepare for the Eucharist -Receive the Eucharist reverently (hand or tongue) -Respond if something goes wrong during communion 🕊 “The same Jesus who died on the Cross is present — Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity — in the Eucharist.” Whether you're Catholic, returning to the Church, or simply curious about what we believe, this message is an invitation to reverence, understanding, and deeper love for Christ in the Blessed Sacrament.
