Is the Eucharist “ base and contemptible to the sensual mind?
God proved the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist by proving He was the Son of man.
Christ said, my flesh is real food. He knew the crowd did not believe. He said, “ What if you see the Son of man rise to where He was before then would you believe?
In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence.”
Daniel 7:13
The Son of man is a physical manifestation of God in the heavens.
“He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.”
Daniel 7:14. 777
They saw the Son of Man rise to where He was before.
“And when he had said these things, while they looked on, he was raised up: and a cloud received him out of their sight.”
Acts 1:9
“What if you saw the “ Son of Man” rise to where he was before, then would you believe my flesh is true food? Then would you believe my glorified body that does not conform to time and space is placed before the Father as the true Passover before He sees the sins of the world?
This IS my body
With faith no explanation is necessary. Without faith no explanation is possible.
Aquinas
The diabolical deception of faith alone often separates faith from virtue in weak souls.
You accept God's word or you don’t. You don’t pick and choose. His words that are hardest to accept are a test of love.
If our gospel be veiled it is veiled to those who are perishing Paul says.
It was veiled to those outside the church.
My flesh is real food.
The cup of benediction that we bless, is this not participation in the blood of Christ?
They will see and not see and hear and not hear.
"Come together in common, one and all without exception in charity, in one faith and in one Jesus Christ, who is of the race of David according to the flesh, the son of man, and the Son of God, so that with undivided mind you may obey the bishop and the priests, and break one Bread which is the medicine of immortality and the antidote against death, enabling us to live forever in Jesus Christ."
Ignatius Disciple of John the apostle.
-"Letter to the Ephesians", paragraph 20, c. 80-110 A.D.
25For the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26For see your vocation, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble: 27But the foolish things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the wise; and the weak things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the strong. 28And the base things of the world, and the things that are contemptible, ( My flesh is true food) hath God chosen, and things that are not, that he might bring to nought things that are: 29That no flesh should glory in his sight. 30But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and justice, and sanctification, and redemption: 31That, as it is written: He that glorieth, may glory in the Lord.
1 Cor 1:25
Humility humility humility
The same Paul who said, “ the cup of benediction that we bless is this not participation in the blood of Christ said, God uses the base and contemptible so that we do not glory in mans wisdom but glory in God.
Do you glory in God by dying to the wisdom of this world?
The Eucharist is the true Passover for the general redemption of the world, whether or not you choose to believe.

Scripture does not interpret scripture to the heart. Faith does.
