Our Hope and Our Strength comes from contemplating Christ in the Eucharistic Presence with the eyes of Mary.
She was the closest person to him even as he ascended the Mount of Calvary to be crucified for the Salvation of Humankind.
Jesus Christ did not leave us "Orphans" but gave himself to us as a Perpetual Presence in the Eucharist.
It is this Faith that spurs Christians on because we know that the Eucharist builds the Church and the Church makes the Eucharist.
Whenever We take part in the Eucharistic Sacrifice we become profoundly aware of the Universality of Redemption and consequently the Urgency of the Mission of Jesus Christ to make his love known to all Men.
In fact, anyone who has encountered Christ in the Eucharist proclaims by his life the Merciful Love of the Redeemer. By the same token then, living the Eucharistic Life urges us to spend time before the Blessed Sacrament -- The Sacramental Presence of Christ.
That We may cherish the Presence of Christ in our midst and strive to make him known to those who have never known him we turn our gaze to Mary -- The Woman of the Eucharist.
We need to listen to her wise words -- Do whatever he tells you.
Only through this we can become New Wine In the Kingdom of Christ.
