YOU MUST BE BORN FROM ABOVE.
There was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. He came to Jesus at night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God, for no one can do these signs that you are doing unless God is with him.”
The wind blows where it wills, and you can hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” (John 3: 1 - 8).

To have a taste for spiritual things, viz: Prayer, Word of God, Eucharist, Reconciliation, you must be born again. The carnal man is incapable of experiencing spiritual things. He is acquainted only with material carnal things. (Cf Romans 8: 6; 1 Corinthians 2: 14). This is what Jesus teaches Nicodemus. This is also a truth anyone can bear witness to by reflecting on his life and the people he knows.
Everything is created twice. The first creation is from the earth and unsurprisingly earthy. The second creation is from above and is heavenly.
It is the Holy Spirit who gives us the second birth. And this happens when we are baptized. We become born anew and in fact new creation.
Since we died with Christ when we were immersed into the water of Baptism and raised with Christ, let us seek what is above where Jesus is seated at the right hand of God. (Cf Colossians 3: 1).
THE EUCHARIST IS THE CHURCH. THE CHURCH IS THE EUCHARIST.
The Church learns more and honors the HOLY EUCHARIST in APRIL.
