I’ve just never heard of someone watching whether other parishioners are like actually swallowing and then confronting them about it. I always ate it right in front of the priest like I was taught

It’s weird for a parishioner to do that, that’s a priests job.

i was a eucharistic minister when i was catholic, which meant i would either give the body of Christ to people or make sure they consume it before leaving. it is the body of Christ, the priest is focused on who’s in front of him so people volunteer to make sure the Host is consumed. if it fell on the floor i’d rush over to pick it up and carefully clean where it fell, i’ve run out the door to stop people from leaving with it and not consuming it, taking it back and consuming it myself.

building on this. Catholics believe it is the true body of Christ, his true flesh consecrated at the altar. this is one of the most important things to a Catholic, it is one of the most sacred things in the faith. i think it’s understandable to want to protect it at all costs. satanists will come into masses and try to steal the Host to desecrate it during what they call a black mass. people who are angry at the catholic faith will try to steal it and desecrate it for “revenge”

also a few miraculous things i witnessed!! one lady kept taking the Host and throwing it in her backyard, every time there would be bees that made an entire hive overnight around the Host. i went to the house and saw about 6 beehives in her backyard after she called the priest. one time when i recieved the Host my mouth was filled with the taste of blood, the Host wouldn’t dissolve like usual and it felt like real flesh in my mouth, i broke into tears in my seat bc i asked for a sign earlier

Yeah I knew they told us it was the actual body of Christ but I guess I just never actually believed it and thought most other Catholics didn’t either lol

i’d recommend looking into some eucharistic miracles!! my parents in person saw the Host that started bleeding years ago. i can’t remember what it’s called. look up saint carlos acutis and his work on eucharistic miracles. also first saint to be canonized and his mother was at his canonization mass!!

growing up my priest told me to imagine heaven as all my favorite things, as far as the eye could see, and the one who gave it to me is God. naturally i’d always imagine a world full of my blankie (my little pink blankie i’ve had since birth) bc she’s all i’ve ever needed 😭 IM GETTING EMOTIONAL NOW FUCK
