Let us look at the Eucharist in relation to Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is both God and man; begotten of the Father from all eternity in His divine nature, born in time of the Virgin in our human nature. He has saved us from sin and its consequences by the sacrifice that He offered for us on the Cross. That same sacrifice is made present for us in the Eucharistic liturgy, making it possible for us to unite ourselves to it and offer ourselves to the Father in union with Christ. In the Eucharist, we eat the body of Christ and drink His blood that we may become more perfectly one with Him and live with His life.
Sincerely in Christ,
Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching
