"I Am": Eucharistic Meditations on the Gospel
Okay, kiddo, let me explain "I am: Eucharistic meditations on the Gospel" in simpler terms.
First, do you know what the Eucharist is? It's when we Catholics believe that the bread and wine we receive during Mass actually becomes the body and blood of Jesus.
Now, "I am" is something Jesus said a lot in the Bible. He said things like "I am the bread of life" and "I am the way, the truth, and the life". These are called "I am" statements.
So when we say "I am: Eucharistic meditations on the Gospel", it means that we're thinking and praying about these statements of Jesus while we're receiving him in the Eucharist. We're trying to understand what they mean and how we can live our lives based on them.
It's kind of like having a conversation with Jesus in our hearts while we're receiving him. We're listening to what he has to say and trying to learn from him.
Does that make sense, little one?
