Meditations for Lent 2024 - Day 44 - The Eucharist
Manage episode 409224955 series 3352669
As the solemnity of Maundy Thursday envelops us, we uncover the profound depths of the Last Supper and its eternal gift to humanity—the Eucharist. Reflect with us on the strikingly simple yet authoritative language Christ employed, as recounted by Bishop Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet, to initiate this sacrament. Our meditation will transport you beyond mere words, drawing you into the heart of Jesus's transformative command, "This is my body... this is my blood." This episode is a spiritual journey, guiding you to a place of deeper reverence for the Eucharist, the fulcrum of our faith, as we approach the poignant Triduum period.
We navigate the startling truth that, amongst believers, a veil of uncertainty exists over the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. This Maundy Thursday, we confront the need for a resurgence of faith in this central tenet, discussing ways to foster a more profound respect and worthy reception of Holy Communion. As the Lenten season culminates, we issue a heartfelt invitation to prayer, seeking a renewed love and understanding of this sacred mystery.
