The universal Church commemorates what Christ had done in preparing a splendid and sumptuous feast on Mount Zion; He gave His own true Body, rich in spiritual power, filled with a twofold charity, internal and external, and commanded that it be given to all those who believe in Him.

We firmly believe and profess that the Body the Lord gave to His apostles and that the Church daily offers to the faithful is the same Body born of the Virgin Mary; the same Body that hung on the Cross and thereafter lay in the tomb; the same Body that rose again on the third day and ascended to the right hand of the Father in heaven.

Let us pray...

O good Saint Anthony, Lover of the Eucharist, teach me to kneel with you before the Sacramental Mystery of the Lamb on the Altar: Real Presence, Priestly Sacrifice, Holy Banquet.  Amen.
