“The Eucharistic Sacrifice is the source and summit of the whole of the Church’s worship and of Christian life. The faithful participate more fully in the sacrament of thanksgiving, propitiation, petition and praise not only when they wholeheartedly offer the sacred Victim, and in it themselves to the Father with the priest, but also when they receive this same Victim sacramentally.” [Vatican 2 Documents :9]
“The other sacraments, as indeed every ministry of the church and every work of the apostolate, are linked with the Eucharist and are directed towards it. For the Eucharist contains the entire spiritual good of the Church, namely, Christ Himself, our Passover and living bread, offering through His flesh, living and life-giving in the Spirit, life to all who are thus invited and led on to offer themselves, their labors, and all created things together with Him.” [Vatican 2 Documents.9:6]
“The blessing-cup that we bless is a communion with the blood of Christ, and the bread that we break is a communion with the body of Christ. The fact that there is only one loaf means that, though there are many of us, we form a single body.” [1Corinthians 10:15-18] “Now in Christ Jesus, you that used to be so very far apart from us have been brought very close, by the blood of Christ. For He is the peace between us.” [Ephesians 2:13-14]
Eucharistic Communion is the gift of Jesus truly present in His humanity and divinity, uniting each person in the whole Mystical Body… We ask forgiveness for all neglect and sin against the Eucharist, sacramental Communion, and the exposed or tabernacled presence of Jesus throughout time.
Lord let there never be a time when the Eucharist is no longer appreciated. In some countries, the Eucharist has been banned, and those who love it have been persecuted. Let not these deprived persons become inured to their loss. Let them continue to treasure Your sacred Eucharist in their hearts. Let their desire for Your eternal Offering and Thanksgiving, and their longing to receive You in their hearts be fulfilled spiritually by the same Holy Spirit who changes bread into the Body of Jesus, and wine into His Blood. Enter into their hearts and lift them to Your own heart, Lord.
Lord, let us always appreciate and participate fully in holy Mass, even if we are weary or discouraged.
