	Remember Convention is coming... We can discuss familial love, if you like... Familial Love by Donald F Hudzinski
The child loves mommy and daddy because mommy and daddy love the Real Presence. Daddy loves mommy because mommy loves the Real Presence and mommy loves daddy because daddy loves the Real Presence. This mutual love of Christ in the Real Presence is the formation of familial love. This dynamic is called the communion of saints and the reason for it is so that, all will become a new creation in Christ. This dynamic is what generates, the second is like it, "Thou shall love your neighbor as yourself". Our neighbor may not share this dynamic with us, but it does not matter, it is our dynamic and it may not be his. It is our mutual love of the Real Presence that will draw him into the dynamic, we are only to reflect that love of the Real Presence to our neighbor. He upon observing it will be drawn in to it, just as we are. Inercessory prayer is the language of this dynamic. We pray for each other to encourage this change in our natures, this new creation. The Eucharist is the spiritual catalyst of this dynamic, encouraging each that receive it to become a new creation in Christ. This is why it may be improper for a Christian to say "I love you". The term "I love you" is not poperly qualified. The reason we love one another is that, we first and foremost love the Real Presence. We change the dynamic when we say, "I love you". The way we view familial love can change everything, including our culture.
