|
The Eucharist is a school of charity and solidarity. The one who is nourished on the Bread of Christ cannot remain indifferent before the one who, even in our day, is deprived of daily bread.

Jesus' definitive 'hour' will be his return at the end of time. Yet he continually anticipates this hour in the Eucharist, in which even now, he always comes to us.

To eat this bread is to communicate, to enter into communion with the person of the living Lord. This communion, this act of eating is truly an encounter between tow persons; it is allowing oneself to be perpetrated bu the life of the one who is Lord, the one who is my creator and redeemer.

|
Diring the Last Supper, washing the disciples' feet, Jesus left us the commandment of love: 'Love one another as I have loved you.' But because this is possible only so long as we remain united with him, as branches on the vine, he chose to stay with us in the Eucharist. This is what makes it possible for us to remain in him.

The Eucharist is, as it were, the beating heart that gives life to the whole mystical body of the Church: a social organism wholly based on the spiritual yet concrete link with Christ. As the Apostle Paul said: “Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread” (1 Cor 10:17).

Where do we find our joy if not in the Eucharist, which Christ has left us as spiritual food while we are pilgrims on earth? In every age the Eucharist nourishes that profound joy in believers that makes us all one in love and peace.

|
The Eucharist makes constantly present the Risen Christ who continues to give himself to us, calling us to participate in the banquet of his Body and his Blood. From full communion with him flows every other element of the Church's life: first of all, communion among all the faithful, the commitment to proclaiming and witnessing to the Gospel, the ardour of love for all, especially the poorest and lowliest.

With the gift of himself in the Eucharist the Lord Jesus sets us free from our "paralyses". He helps us up and enables us to "proceed ", that is, he makes us take a step ahead and then another step, and thus sets us going with the power of the Bread of Life.
