everything is possible..

Some time ago a Muslim came up to a bishop who had come to Jerusalem with a group of pilgrims and asked him in a loud voice, to answer some questions regarding the Blessed Sacrament. When the bishop agreed, the Muslim asked “How is it possible for bread and wine to become the Body and Blood of Christ?”

The bishop replied: “You have not always been as tall as you are now. You have grown since childhood and today you have more flesh and blood than you had then. What is the reason for this? Your body changed the food you ate into flesh and blood. Now, if the human body can change food and drink into flesh and blood, surely God can do so too.”

Satisfied with this reply, the Islamite asked further: “But how is it possible for Christ to be present in his entirety in the small host?”

“The landscape that you see with the blue sky above it,” responded the bishop, “is something immense, while your eye is very small. Yet your tiny eye contains in itself the whole gigantic picture of the landscape. Does it then seem so impossible for Christ to be present in His entirety in the small host?”

“But how is it possible,” the Muslim continued, “for the same body of Christ to be present simultaneously in all your churches?”

“To God nothing is impossible,” answered the bishop. “This answer alone should be sufficient. However, do we not meet something similar in everyday life? When I speak to a single individual, he hears me and considers what I say. If I should address a thousand persons (via broadcast) they would all hear the same message. Or, when you look into a mirror you see your image reflected in it but once. When you break the mirror into a hundred pieces you see the same image of yourself in each one of the hundred fragments of glass. If such a phenomenon occurs in everyday life, how should it be impossible for the Body of our Lord to be present in many places at the same time?”
