Eucharistic Reflection - It's Called Communion

"[Another] sign of true love is to do good to the beloved and to share with him whatever one possesses, even giving him one’s heart and oneself. True love is never idle, but it always strives to do good for the beloved.

But what greater gifts and goods than those which Christ gives us in this Sacrament? In it, we receive the body and blood of Jesus, with all that He merited through that body and blood. We receive Christ and all His merits and sufferings so that we are made sharers in all this through the Sacrament, according to the dispositions with which we receive it. Hence, this Sacrament is called Communion, because through it, God communicates to us not only the body and blood of Christ, but a share in all His sufferings and merits.”

(Venerable Louis of Granada, O.P. from Summa of the Christian Life)
