"A bishop visits with second graders preparing for First Communion and asks: 'What is the meaning of Eucharist'” A little girl catches him off guard, saying: 'The meaning of the Eucharist is the exit sign.' The bishop pauses, then asks: 'Why the exit sign?'
"The young girl says: 'We share in the Body and Blood of Christ, and we become the Body
and Blood of Christ as we leave the Eucharist and go out beyond the
exit sign.' The bishop then realizes she clearly understands the meaning
of Eucharist."
