When you meditate on the body of Jesus, you are flooded with illumination of his divinity, for Jesus is divine, and every thought of him, every impression of him, every footstep, even his shadow, is infinite mystery, infinite revelation.
His hands and feet, his sides, his back and shoulders, his backside and legs, his sacred loins, his head and face, his mouth and eyes -- everything is flooded with divinity, with light.
Even the words on the page of scripture which speak of him, the very words, the very ink and paper, ring like bells and gongs,echo like drums in the heart and throughout the cosmos and the multiverse, the divine manifestation of dearest god, dear with his inclined head on the cross, dear his opened arms, his vulnerability, his stripped naked body elevated in mid-air, expression o f the heart of mystery....
How open is his heart! How faithful and true in love!
When you mediate on the body of Jesus, not only do you contemplate divinity, but you begin to understand humanity, for to look at Jesus is not only theology (Christology) but is anthropology.
You see what is is to be a human being. In Jesus, you see God teaching you how to be human. If God can be human, why can't you?
He changed his body and blood into bread and wine.
