On this feast day, we give special thanks and praise to God for the sublime gift of His Body and Blood that Christ let us at the Last Supper. The Eucharist is the living memorial of His passion, death and resurrection, which brings us its sacrificial and saving power until the end of time. It is the great Sacrament by which we encounter the living and risen Christ and receive strength in holiness so that all peoples may come to walk in the light of one faith in one communion of love. It is the sacred banquet in which all are fed at God’s table and grow into the holiness and likeness of the risen Christ.
