Sent Out as Manna: The Earthly Purpose of the Eucharist | Fr Michael Payyapilly VC

The Eucharist does not end at the altar. Fr Michael Payyapilly VC reflects on the manna of Exodus, the sending of Peter and the missionary command of Jesus to show how Christ nourishes and forms His people so that they can carry His presence into their families, the Church and the world. To receive Jesus is also to be sent. Fr Michael speaks about Christian witness, mission and vocation, reminding us that the Church needs the gift of our lives today. Like manna, our mission has meaning only while we remain connected to the God who gives and sustains us through the Holy Spirit and the Eucharist.
