In the washing of the feet we remember … St. Paul said to the Corinthians and he says to us, “For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, ‘This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.’
In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.’ For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.” [1 Corinthians 11:23-26]
So may we follow the advice of St. Francis de Sales “In fact, there is no other art than to set ourselves to the work of loving Him [God], applying ourselves to the practice of those things that are pleasing to Him [God].” [The Art of Loving God, p.108]
Cardinal Cantalamessa “What is the place the Eucharist has in the history of salvation? The answer is that it has no particular place – it is the whole thing.”
May God Be Praised.
