Forager, Hunter, Ritual eater and drinker & Sacrum Convivium
Herbivores forage, Carnivores hunt and human beings do both but they also do more! Food and drink we know is for us the source of energy and health for our bodies and we as an organism have an internal system called a metabolism which transforms food and drink into energy. In other words, a metabolism by which food and drink become us!
From the dawn of mankind, human beings, unlike animals, have also surrounded eating and drinking with rituals, ceremonies and celebrations. As such we have given thanks to the divine for a good harvest, we have celebrated significant events with food and drink be they birthdays, weddings, graduations, awards, anniversaries, funerals and we have offered up oblations [bread and food], libations [wine and liquids] and sacrifices [food and animals…even humans] along with grace at meals.
In the Catholic Church, under the appearance of bread and wine, we, Catholics, offer up but also eat and drink the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ at the command of Our Lord: “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you” [John 6:53].
Here we go beyond metabolism where food and drink is changed into us and we discover the mystery of Theabolism, where we are changed into that food and drink that is the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ! We go beyond a ritual to a sacrament that brings us both into the mystery of the Eucharist and also brings us upwards to the divine so that we become what we eat and drink and what we eat and drink is the Divine Life that fits us out from the inside out to become beings made to transcend space, time, energy and matter and become godly beings sharing God ‘s life.
So how would the Enemy stop this happening?
The Enemy would stop this be replacing natural bread and natural wine with unnatural super-processed mimics of bread and wine! So they would close down the natural producers of food and drink and put in their place Global companies who would be the ones to buy up their land through the help of anti-people, anti-life and anti-nature of totalitarian States who pass so called Green Laws. The Mass would then cease to exist in our world.
Thus, all those ecclesiastical figures who today vote and follow the Green Inertia movement with their net nought policies are, at best, like turkeys voting for Christmas or, at worst, they are secret members of secret societies who despise the Common Man and the People of the Cross!
We need today to gather, as Catholics, our families and like-minded friends to develop a faith & culture table fellowship. Where we can discuss and share our critiques of what is happening to our country and in our world. But then to go further and consider all of our critiques in the light of what our Sacred Tradition of mystics and prophets have to say to us today in their exhortations, calls, challenges and warnings that make up their prophecies for our times. In this we have an important and vital fellowship around both the food of life and the word of life that flows from the Word of Life and the Food of Life central to all our mystics, prophet and saints which is called Sacrum Convivium!
