He used no symbolic phrases, no vague suggestions that the Mass merely remembers Beatitudes the Sacrifice of Calvary. He said, “I am the living Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. bread come down from heaven.” The Eucharist is the flesh and blood of the Risen Lord. The link between the Eucharist and the Lord’s sacrificial gift of self on Calvary is clear from the text. The Eucharist is the flesh of Jesus given “for the life of the world.” Reflection For long centuries the church has called the physical consumption of the Eucharistic species as “Holy Communion.” Of course, it is holy. It is Jesus, the Son of God, and the Savior. “Communion” is a further, more deeply descrip- tive term. Its incorporation of “union” is clear. In receiving the Eucharist, we unite ourselves with Je- sus. We receive the “body, blood, soul and divinity” of Christ into our very body and soul. It is the most complete of unions. The first syllable recalls the Latin preposition “cum,” or “with.” In the Eucharist we unite with Christ. Catholic piety always has celebrated this fact. We also unite with other believers, with the “com- munity” of believers, or the church. God has given us the Eucharist, as manna was

Father John Catoir A simple exercise in God’s love that can help many n my 54 years as a priest, I have been privileged to give hundreds of retreats. My favorite groups were recovering alcoholics and Idrug addicts. I was once the director of a drug and alcoholic rehabilitation facility, Eva’s Village, in Paterson, New Jersey. It was there that I taught the theory behind the 12-step program. Many of those in recovery had multiple ad- dictions. Nearly all had great difficulty forgiving themselves. At the opening of each retreat, I would have the group sit in a big circle as I asked each of them the question, “What do you hope to get out of this retreat?” Their answers ranged from “I hope to be more Spiritualife comfortable with myself” or I want to learn how to recharge my batteries and get my confidence back.” I also heard, “I need to be more hopeful and Father Ron less negative” and “I want to find a more positive spirituality ... I want to find God’s will for me.” Rolheiser I announced the theme of one particular weekend, “The Joy of Being Alive,” adding the subtitle, “It isn’t enough to be clean and sober.
