It is too complicated for me. I think the picture of Fr. Matthew without the cruxifix overlay but with the words at the bottom is profound. This is the Epiclesis which is the part of the Eucharistic Prayer which, at this moment, the Orthodox Catholics beleive the bread & wine become the Body & Blood of Jesus.

When I pulled this image up, I was holding JJ (22 mos) on my hip and she simply said, "God." I thought that was so profound! Truth from the mouth of babes!

It seems to portray so vividly what actually happens at consecration i.e. that Christ's sacrifice on the cross is renewed at moment of consecration and He is with us in the flesh. This picture makes one almost see what actually happens each time. A truly inspired picture!!! Thank you so much for sharing it with me. It has really touched me very deeply.
