A story about a Bishop who meets a Muslim, I don't know the year. Bishop Samonas of Gaza had come to Jerusalem with a party of pilgrims. A Muslim gentleman there requested him, before a large concourse of people, to answer some questions regarding the Blessed Sacrament. The Bishop acceded to the request, whereupon the gentleman asked: "How is it possible for bread and wine to become the Body and Blood of Christ?" To this question the Bishop replied: "You have not always been as tall as you are now. You have grown since childhood and today you have more flesh and blood than you had then. What is the reason for this? Your body changed the food you ate into flesh and blood. Now, if the human body changes food and drink into flesh and blood, then indeed God can do it also." Satisfied with this reply, the muslim gentleman continued: "But how is it possible for Christ to be present in His entirety in the small host?" The Bishop responded ...."The landscape that you see before you with the blue sky above it, is something immense, while on the other hand your eye is very small. Yet your tiny eye contains in itself the whole gigantic picture of the landscape. When you consider this, it will not seem impossible for Christ to be present in His entirety in the little piece of bread." The Muslim gentleman put another question to the Bishop: "How is it possible then for the same Body of Christ to be simultaneously present in all your churches?" The Bishop answered "To God nothing is impossible; and this answer alone ought to be sufficient. But I will, show you something similar in everyday life. When I speak to a single individual, he hears me and takes to himself what I say. If I should address the same words to a thousand people, they would all hear the same thing. Or, look in to a large mirror. You see your image reflected in it but once. When you break the mirror into a hundred pieces, you see the same image of yourself in each of the hundred fragments of glass. If such phenomena occur in everyday life, how should it be impossible for the Body of Our Lord to be present in many places at the same time?" Astonished at this remarkable analogy, the Muslim gentleman made no reply, but went his way deeply engaged in thought.
