Eat this bread and drink the cup

“For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes.” (1 COR 11: 26)

The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ brings us closer to this most unique mystery—Our Lord is with us in His Body and Blood. And He likes to be part of our history and our lives. He died for us to keep us alive, and He will come again to take us to Heaven. When we come to Holy Communion, when we “eat this bread and drink the cup,” and when we take Him out to our cities and parishes, “we proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes.”

“I am the living bread come down from heaven, says the Lord; whoever eats this bread will live forever.”
