One Bread, One Body, One Cup of Blessing which we bless’Today’s Feast is about the bountiful generosity of God and it is also about the deepest description of who we are as the Church; we are the Body of Christ. Today’s feast is not just or simply about what we receive every time we       celebrate the Eucharist; it is fundamentally about who are. Every time we celebrate the Eucharist, we remembering in a sacred and profound  way the Life, Death and  Resurrection of Jesus; the Paschal Mystery. This is not some drama at which we are silent and passive observers. The Church document on the liturgy calls us to be Full Conscious and Active participants in the celebration of the Eucharist at all times. During the celebration of the Eucharist we present the most ordinary of things to God; bread and wine; fruit of the earth and work of our hands. God accepts, blesses them and  then through power of the Holy Spirit they become the Body and Blood of Jesus. God then surprises us even more and returns these new gifts to us out of love. The Eucharist is an expression God’s     ultimate bountiful generosity. Our response can only be gratitude which is why when we receive the Body and Blood of Jesus, we prayerfully respond, Amen. May we never take this greatest of gifts for granted. We didn’t earn, it’s not our right and we can’t demand it. It is God’s gift  given freely out love to each of us. As Pope Francis reminded us; ‘The Eucharist is not a prize for the perfect, but a powerful medicine and nourishment for the weak.’
