Going on from there, he saw
two other brothers, James son of Zebedee
and his brother John. They
were in a boat with their father Zebedee,
preparing their nets.
Jesus called them, and immediately they left
the boat
and their father and
followed him. - Matthew 4:21, 22
"Christ calling the
Apostles James and John" ~ Edward Armitage
"And just as He
appeared before the holy
Apostles in true flesh,
so now He has us see Him in the Sacred Bread. Looking at Him with the eyes of
their flesh, they saw only His Flesh, but regarding Him with the eyes of the
spirit, they believed that He was God.
In like
manner, as we see
bread and wine with our bodily eyes, let us see and believe firmly that it is
His Most Holy Body and Blood, True and Living.
For in this way our Lord is ever
present among those who believe in Him, according to what He said:
"Behold, I am
with you all days even to the consummation of the
world" (Mt. 28, 20).
