Whenthemultitudemarchedaway, OurLordturnedtotheTwelveApostlesandchallengedtheirfaith:"Will youalsogoaway?"TheApostlesdid notunderstand,buttheytrustedOur Lordfully.Inallhumility,St.Peter answered:"Lord,towhomshallwe go?Thouhestthewordsofeternal life:"OurLorddidnotselectarepulsivefiguretoillustratethetruth,for thedrinkingofbloodwasrepulsiveto aJew.TheJewsheldthatthedrinkingofbloodwasessentiallywicked, andtoteachthedoctrinefiguratively toanationwhichheldthedrinkingof bloodasaheinouscrimewouldbe,to saytheleastofit,extremelystrange onthepartofOurLord.Wemust agreethatChristactedthusifwedeny theRealPresence.ItwaspreciselybecauseOurLordwashonestthatHe usedthewords.Heknewexactlythe effecttheywouldproduceuponthe mindsoftheJews,andinsistedontheir literalacceptance,forbythemHe wishedtoteachthedoctrineofthe RealPresence.

(Applause.)Allthesefullybelievedin theRealPresenceintheBlessedSacrament.Itwasbecausetheybelieved inthisthatThomasMore,LordHigh ChancellorofEngland,andinnumerablemultitudesofotherswillinglylaid downtheirlives.Surelythisbelief mustrestonsolidfoundations!His purposewastoshowthatthefoundationwasnothinglessthantheclear andconvincingstatementofOurLord, whosewordisTruth.Hehopedto convinceanyhonestseekeraftertruth totherealityoftheposition.Itwas nomerefigure,nounreality,andno meresymbol,buttheBlessedEucharististheverybodyandtheveryblood ofChrist.Thedoctrinewasaboveand beyondreason,butthiswasnoreason fordenyingit.Thematerialworldwas fullofmysteries;thefactthatmen hadlabelledafewdidnotmeanthat theyunderstoodthem.
Thelecturertookupthe6thchapter ofSt.John,andconclusivelyproved fromthetextthetruthoftheReal Presence.Heshoweditwasimpossible toholdthatChristspokefiguratively, becauseintheJewishlanguagethe expressionofeatingfleshhadonlyone figurativemeaning-namely,tocalumniateortohatebitterly.Ifitwasintendedtobefigurative,thepassage wouldread:"Amen,amen,Isayto you,unlessyoubitterlyhatetheson ofmanyoushallnothavelifeinyou, andhethathatethmebitterlyshall haveeverlastinglife."That,ofcourse, wasabsolutenonsense.Nohesitancy wasexhibitedbytheJewsastowhat Christmeant.Theyunderstoodhim literally,andatonceburstforth:"You giveusfleshtoeat."FatherLockingtonshowedhowChristhadactedwhen HishearersmisunderstoodHim,andhe alsogaveseveralinstancestoprove thatChrist'swordsweretakenliterally byHishearers.Whentheywere wronglyreceived,Christcorrectedthe misunderstanding.Againandagain Christusedtheverysamephrase.

ReferringtothestateoftheChurch inAustraliaahundredyearsago, FatherLockingtonsaidthatthosein powerdeclaredthattheCatholic Churchwouldnevergetafootholdin Australia.Thepriestwhoministered tothewantsoftheCatholicpeople wasseizedandplacedaboardavessel. whichtookhimawayfromthiscountry.TheinfantChurchwasleftwithoutapastor,andseeminglytheLight wasextinguishedinAusUalia.Butit wasnotso.Seizedunexpectedly,the priestwasunabletoremovetheBlessedSacrament,whichremainedina littlecottagebythesideofthewater onSydneyHarbour.ThatwasChrist's resting-placefortwolongyearsinthe firstTabernacleofAustralia.Itwas therethattheCatholicpeople,whose religionwasproscribed,kneltinadorationbeforethelivingGod.Whentwo yearshadpassed,twopriestscameto Australia,andenteredAustralia'sHoly ofHolies.Howgreatwastheirjoyto findtheBlessedSacrament!To-day thismightycontinentblazedwiththe Lightfromnearly2000Tabernacles.

TheLivingBreadthatcamefromthe tabernaclesstrengthenedthepeople. ThespreadofCatholicityinAustralia wasnotduetoanyhumanagency,but toGodHimself.TheCatholicChurch wasfulfillingChrist'sgreatpledgeto humanity-"Hethateatethmyflesh anddrinkethmybloodhatheverlastinglife,andIwillraisehimupatthe lastday."Outsidetherewasuncertainty.buttherewasnottheleast darknessanddoubtintheCatholic Church.Withaheartfullofloveand steadiedbyfaith,theCatholiccould pointtothetabernacleandsaywith absoluteconfidence:'Behold,therethereisChrist!"(Loudapplause.)
