Published by The TRUE COMMUNION
Often when I go to the church and kneel before Christ’s statue, or in a pew before Him, He will walk into me as I pray.
I see Him walk into me, as if from another realm, very transparent and full of Light. He first appears some distance away, facing me, and then quickly approaches and effortlessly and quietly walks into me. It seems to me that He stays in His own realm this entire time. We both seem very transparent while this happens, not physical in the usual sense, and my eyes can be either open or shut when I experience this. This has also happened to others with me at the church, other clairvoyants.
This, I feel, is the true meaning of Communion.
Our Lord once told a saint that she should ask for Communion every ten minutes, to make up for those who never took Communion. Catholics call this “spiritual Communion”.
After my car accident, because of my injuries I could not attend Mass. I could not even visit the empty church. Therefore, I decided that God was telling me that I should find His Church within myself, that I should be less dependent on the physical church, the physical building. I had the idea to build a small Chapel around myself, one dedicated to Our Lady and Her Divine Son. I try to carry this chapel with me, around me, wherever I am.
Because I could not attend Mass, I also could not receive the physical host during Communion. Therefore, as I prayed at home, I often asked for spiritual Communion. Two things would happen: 1. Sometimes I would physically feel the host being placed on my tongue, or I would have the sensation of the host on my tongue. 2. Most often I feel Christ enter me from above, sometimes in His incarnate form, transparent and full of brilliant Light. At these times I am filled with His Light and also with indescribable Love, and often I can see His physical form, very radiant and transparent, and almost filling me completely. As though He is actually replacing me, in a way, with Himself. If my body were a container of some sort, this vessel would be filled with Christ’s luminous body of Light, His Glorious Body and His flaming Sacred Heart.
We can never attain perfection while still in the body. We are poor while we are still in the body, we are driven by temptation and we have forgotten our true selves. Therefore, we come nearest to perfection during Communion because we are, in a sense, replaced by God. And in this way we are also brought closer to our own soul, reminded of the Light and Divinity that is our true Nature. What we cannot on our own attain – we will be given, at least briefly. Then it is for us to cherish these Divine communications, these communions, and recall them, until they become an unbroken experience and prayer.
This, I feel, is the true Communion, or Mystical Union.
