There are certain phrases that I have come to greatly dislike. Among them are: “In these uncertain times…” and “The new normal…” I’m sure you can come up
with a few of your own. One thing that is certain “in these uncertain times,” is that life is anything BUT nor-mal. The life of our families, our society, our parish has been greatly disrupted. Perhaps one of the greatest dis-ruptions was to our ability to gather in the Sacred Assem-bly for the Eucharist in Holy Mass. Perhaps for the first time, many of us realized how important the Eucharist is in our lives. To be deprived of it, if only for a time, caused a lot of anxiety. It’s nice to be able to receive again, even if we are gathering in more creative ways than before. It makes a lot of sense, if you think about it. The Eu-charist is the ‘source and summit’ of the life of the Church. (cf. Sacrosanctam conciliam, 10) Everything we do flows from the Eucharist and leads to the Eucharist. It has been said that once you understand the Eucharist, you can never leave the Church, not because the Church won’t let you, but because your heart won’t let you. Indeed, the Eucharist is at the heart of all that we are as Church and thus speaks to the heart of the Christian in a way like no other. The main reason for this can be summed up in two words: “true presence.” Christ is truly and substantially present in two places, in heaven and in the Eucharist. This true, substantial, sacramental pres-ence is different than a mere physical presence. It is deeper and goes to the very level of who Christ is being joined to who we are. It’s about the heart of Christ being present to the heart of the believer. As St. Frances de Sales described it: “Cor ad cor loquitur—heart speaks to heart.” Is it any wonder that the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (this Friday) falls so closely to Corpus Christi? To be a people of the Eucharist is to be united to the heart of Christ. May our lives reflect the love of Christ for us and for the world as we go forth as witnesses of the Good News. - Fr. Leo
