Eucharistic Reflection - The Call of the Eucharist
(Image source: Wikimedia Commons) |
"Union with Christ in the Eucharist must be expressed in the
truth of our lives today - in our actions, in our behavior, in our life-style,
and in our relationships with others.
For one of us the Eucharist is a call to ever
greater effort, so that we may live as true followers of Jesus: truthful in our
speech generous in our deeds, concerned, respectful of the dignity and rights
of all persons - whatever their rank or income - self-sacrificing, fair and
just, kind, compassionate and self-controlled...
The truth of our union with
Jesus Christ in the Eucharist is tested
by whether or not we really love our fellow men and women; it is tested by how
we treat others; especially our families…, by whether, or not we try to be reconciled
with our enemies, on whether or not we forgive those who hurt us or offend us."
(St.John Paul II,Homily, Phoenix. AZ, September 29, 1979)
