The Fifth Luminous Mystery: The institution of the eucharist, the pascal mystery.
The Eucharist is the source and the summit of the Churches life. The other sacrimints and every ministry of the Church lead to the Eucharist because the Eucharist is the Christ Himself. It is the Pascal Mystery, the Lords Supper, the sacrifice of the cross, the Resurrection from the Dead and it is the real presence of the living and glorious Christ. (Luke 22: 15-20)
Meditation:
O Loving Mother Mary, when you gathered with the deciples for the breaking of the bread you recieved from their hands your Risen Eucharistic Son. You helped them to remember Him as they called to mind His words and teachings, His face always before you. Teach us to see Jesus in the Eucharist through your eyes of faith and to love Him with your heart and may we find Him in every crushed grain of humanity from which His body is made.
Dear father in heaven, let the light shine upon these loving servants as priests to shine and radiate His loving spirit. Let this bee seen without shame, and beautify it so that as followers, we may come to know this gentle and powerful love and sacrifice. In the Eucharist, let us fing strength to follow and do the Lords bidding, in His name we pray…
Our Father:
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
