Suggested Reflection Questions for Sunday Mass Sponsorships:

a. How do I feel and recognize the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist vis-à-vis my
status as a student or a member of my family?
I feel and recognize the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist vis-à-vis my status as a student in every
ordinary person, whether it is my family, friends, classmates, or maybe you, ma'am, our instructors,
because just like in the gospel, Jesus chose to make known Himself to ordinary people and ordinary
situations. So, I recognize Jesus in everyone and everything that surrounds me. We may not notice it
immediately, but I believe slowly we can feel it as we continue to blend in with these ordinary people.
This mass makes me recognize them as Jesus because every day they give me an experience that I’ll
never forget, just like what Jesus did to save us.

b. What is the impact of the Eucharist (Mass) in my life, and in my relationship with others and
with God (taking into consideration the readings and the homily)?
The homily helped me understand that great things take time to accomplish, just as Jesus did in the
gospel. Jesus decided to reveal himself to ordinary people in ordinary circumstances. He might have
shown His resurrected body in a spectacular manner to the powerful individuals of the nation or to a large
audience so that everyone could witness and believe in His resurrection, but he did not because He
wanted to take it slowly but surely. These lessons make my relationship to God and others stronger
because I know that I may face numerous challenges right now, but I believe it will be worth it in the end
because of them. Slowly but surely, Jesus will allow us to experience the wonderful life we want. Slowly
but surely, He will fulfill the kingdom He set up for us. Let us simply be patient.
