A sacrament is a sign that points to something else, making present what it points to and thereby communicating the grace of the reality that it points to and makes present. In the gift of the Eucharist, we receive the gift of Jesus body and blood, the gift of Jesus himself who comes to give himself freely to us, as he gave himself freely for us on Calvary. Recognizing, revering and responding to this reality sets souls on fire with divine love!
