“This mystery is all about love, or rather it is
love itself.”
So
often I fail to contemplate
the
magnitude of the Eucharist.
I
fail to humble myself
in
order than I might
even
begin to understand the humility of the Eucharist.
“Eternal Wisdom, on the one hand, wished to prove
His love for man by dying in his place in order to save him, but on the other
hand, He could not bear the thought of leaving him. So He devised a marvelous
way of dying and living at the same time, and of abiding with man until the end
of time. So, in order fully to satisfy His love, He instituted the sacrament of
the Holy Eucharist.”
The
Eucharist is a symbol of Christ’s love for us.
Not
only did He die for us
He
wants to continue to be with us,
we
are continually reminded through the Eucharist
of
His love for us.
A
lot of this generation talks about how nothing about
the
Catholic Faith is tangible.
The
Eucharist is absolutely tangible.
It
is then about belief.
Lord,
help our unbelief.
Through
the Eucharist,
along
with love,
we
are taught humility.
“He does not conceal Himself under a sparking
diamond or some other precious stone, because He does not was to abide with man
in an ostentatious manner. But He hides Himself under the appearance of a small
piece of bread- man’s ordinary nourishment- so that when received, He might
enter the heart of man and there take His delight.
He
comes as our Savior
in
the form of our daily nourishment,
though
He is a King,
the
Savior of the World.
Let
us desire to go forth in humility and love
just
as our Savior has taught us.
