On the Eucharist

My dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Praised be Jesus Christ, who has given us His Paschal Mystery, as a living memorial of His Passion, Death, and Resurrection! "To receive communion is to receive Christ himself who has offered himself for us" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no 1382).

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
