Christ is NOT less present today as He walked on earth 2,000 years ago. He is not less present in the Sacraments; He is fully alive! Through the Holy Spirit working in us, He inspires us to respond in faith. Even at the time of the Apostles, many heard Him, saw Him, ate with Him, and was healed by Him; yet did not believe -- even more, they shouted: crucify Him! Today, we hear Christ in the Liturgy of the Word; we see Christ through the priest and the community; we dine with Him through the Eucharist and becomes food for us; we are healed by prayers -- yet we fail to recognize that he is even ever more present and real today by sending the Holy Spirit! What is then required to recognize this truth? Faith.
