We celebrate the month of April dedicated in many countries to the Holy Eucharist, where the Lord Jesus is present in his body, soul, blood and divinity, the one who reigns forever with the Father is present in the bread.
Said St. Josemaría EscriváThere you have it: He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. -He is hidden in the Bread. He humbled Himself to such extremes for love of you." (Way,538)
– Supernatural Eucharist is made present through the hands of the priest, those same hands that manage to bring the Lord to this time and that he puts himself back to share himself in a piece of bread, so much beauty in a piece of bread! This month is especially dedicated to an interior life that seeks the Lord, not to overlook the fact that the center of the heart, the center of every interior life is in the tabernacle.
In the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches us the Eucharist is the memorial of Christ's Passover, that is, of the work of salvation accomplished by the life, death and resurrection of the Savior, a work made present by the liturgical action (CCC 1409).
It is to relive Easter, it is to go again to see the empty tomb, it is to see again how Jesus goes up to Calvary, where we are like St. John, seeing how the Lord gives himself.
Visiting the Lord is everyone's responsibility, every day, every day as we feed ourselves, we must give thanks, we would be ungrateful not to go, showing a weakness that is proper to us, to meet Him every day.
But this month we also celebrate the Holy Spirit, the sanctifier, that sanctification of life that every baptized person must seek, "the great unknown" as St. Josemaría says (The Way, 57), the one who is within us and makes us saints, temples of the Holy Spirit, a stained temple, made of dust, but which that breath of the Spirit cleanses and makes a new temple.
Celebrating the Most Holy Eucharist and the Holy Spirit, is to celebrate the Blessed Trinity, to celebrate also the saints, whose center was the holy sacrifice, whose inner life was able to listen to the spirit that guided them and sanctified them in every part of their life, be it with problems or joys.
It is also to celebrate the Church, that body of Christ, which seeks to see the Lord at the end of his pilgrimage through the world.
It is to celebrate eternal life, which we enjoy a little in each mass, it is to see and contemplate what we want to see eternally in heaven, where everything we Christians long for will be fulfilled, to see the Lord as He is, this month is also to remember all the sacraments of the Church, where God is present, where the Trinity is involved in our sinful life and leads us to good.
It is also to celebrate the one who carried God in her womb, blessed YES! Blessed affirmation that gave way to redemption, is to see her as Daughter of God the Father, Mother of God the Son and Spouse and temple of the Holy Spirit.
