Blog Post 4/10/2024 – On the Eucharist

 

On the Eucharist

"If we approach with faith, we too will see Jesus ... For the Eucharistic table takes the place of the crib.  Here the Body of the Lord is present, wrapped not in swaddling clothes but in the rays of the Holy Spirit."  [St. John Chrysostom]

 

Pope Francis offers this insight “… the Eucharist is God’s answer to the most profound hunger of the human heart, the hunger of true life: in it Christ Himself is really in our midst to feed us, to console us and to sustain us on our journey…. The Eucharist is … more than a symbol, it is the real and loving presence of the Lord.”  [6/19/2023]

Take some time today to reflect on the overwhelming and sublime gift of the Eucharist.

 

May God Be Praised.
