From Plain Bread to Holy Host
This whole dynamism is beautifully present every time we go to Mass. We offer to God the humble gifts of bread and wine — the most normal, earthly products of nature and human labor. We place them on the altar, in all their plainness, simplicity, and fragility. And what happens? They become hosts of Christ’s own precious Body and Blood. God “gracifies” them, transforming them into something that no human effort, however magnificent, could ever accomplish: the Eucharistic presence of the Lord himself.
