CCC
1380 It is highly fitting that Christ should have wanted to remain present to
his Church in this unique way. Since Christ was about to take his departure
from his own in his visible form, he wanted to give us his sacramental
presence; since he was about to offer himself on the cross to save us, he
wanted us to have the memorial of the love with which he loved us "to the
end," even to the giving of his life. In his Eucharistic presence he
remains mysteriously in our midst as the one who loved us and gave himself up
for us, and he remains under signs that express and communicate this love.
Give them some food yourselves. You
cannot give what you don’t have.
We need to be refreshed by Christ in
order to give Him to others.
Who thinks breathing regularly is a good
thing?
Who thinks eating food daily is a good
thing?
Prayer is our breath.
Sunday Mass, and most importantly the
Eucharist, is our food.
As the Lord wants to be present to us,
may we truly remain present to Him.
