St. Benedicta of the Cross
I never know why, when I read what a saint has said, why I bother in my own words to say the same thing. Perhaps it is why they are saints!
For us, here and now, after 2000+ years, the Holy Eucharist is still the source of unity for the Mystical Body of Christ, the
Church, and the link between the liturgy and the corporal works of mercy.
Church, and the link between the liturgy and the corporal works of mercy.
As members of Christ’s Church, we are bound together by a supernatural life communicated to us by Jesus Himself through the Eucharist.
Having passed from this world to the Father, Christ gives us in the Eucharist the pledge of glory with Him. Participation in the Holy Sacrifice identifies us with His Heart, sustains our strength along the pilgrimage of this life, makes us long for eternal life, and unites us even now to the Church in heaven, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and all the saints. (Catechism of the Catholic Church - 1419)
