Faith Q&A › Catechism › 20. The Sacrament of the Eucharist

Do you want to see Jesus Christ?

The answer

St. John Chrysostom says, “How many now say, I would wish to see His form, the mark, His clothes, His shoes. Lo! You see Him, You touch Him, you eat Him. And you indeed desire to see His clothes, but He gives Himself to you not to see only, but also to touch and eat and receive within you.”1523
