After communion, how long does Jesus remain within us?

When participating in mass and in particular at the moment of the Eucharist, have you ever wondered for how long Jesus does it remain within us after Communion? Today we will discover it together.

The Mass is a moment in which we receive the gift ofEucharist. After attending Mass and resuming our daily activities, we must remember that Christ he entered us.

We don't pay much attention to how long Jesus remains within us. We often participate in Mass in a routine way: we enter, we do the sign of the cross, we sit among other believers, listen to the Word of God and then return home or to our everyday lives.

However, it is important to reflect on what happened at that precise moment. When we get close to the Holy Eucharist to receive it from the hands of the priest it is Christ who enters us, into our heart, and comes to live in us.

It is the Body of Christ that yes unites with our body. Sometimes, we need someone to remind us to stop and meditate on the mystery that took place in that moment. After receiving Communion, we return to our place, if possible, we pray to thank God. But we almost never stop to think about what really happened.

Jesus remains with us until we commit a sin

Una fedele he asked how long the presence of Christ in the Eucharist lasts in us. A simple question, but one that requires an adequate answer.

A theologian explains that Jesus chose to be sacramentally present in the signs of bread and wine during Mass. His presence goes beyond the ritual moment real and it is a bond of mutual love with each of us. During the Mass, Jesus and the church become one.

The Catholic Church states that Jesus Christ he remains in us with his grace until we commit a mortal sin. This special and particular moment is interrupted only when mortal sin enters us, thus distancing us from his Grace.
