Recognize Him Who died for us in the Eucharist.
St. Augustine said.
“Recognize in this bread what hung on the cross,
and in this chalice what flowed from His side.”
For those who have Faith there is no difference between the Body of Jesus that hung on the cross and Whose Blood flowed from His side,
and the Body that we receive and the Blood in the chalice.
While they may “look” different they are one and the same,
For Jesus said, “This is My Body given for you, and the Chalice of My Blood poured out for you.”
Through the Eucharist therefore we too are able to be at Calvary,
As Jesus offers His Body and sheds His blood for the life of the world.
