Today
we celebrate the gift of the Eucharist. Christ left a memorial of himself under
forms of bread and wine for his apostles and all his followers. Through the
Eucharist our Lord is perpetually present in our midst to accompany us on
life’s journey. The Eucharist tells us we are not alone, there is a living
presence, a helper always close at hand that we have. He also invites each one of us to be like him
in this great act of love and self-giving. The highest expression of love is in
humble service to the least of the brethren. This is the meaning of the washing
of the feet that every follower of Christ is called to. We can touch others
deeply by humbling ourselves to serve others especially the very vulnerable.
Lord!
Teach us how to Love as you did. Take away our selfishness and pride. Grant us
to venerate you always in this sacred mystery of your body and blood that you
left us as a memorial your passion, that we may be ever worthy of the fruit of
your redemption. Amen
