The sacred activities of the Holy Spirit may be likened to the outpouring of an endless, inexhaustible miracle. Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “Out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water.” [Jn 7:38] Cherishing and sharing are part of this living water. Loving and giving are profoundly expressed every time we celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass which our Lord Jesus commanded his followers to offer in his name.
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.” [Rev 3:20] FIRST PILLAR: The Vatican Council II Church fathers recognized the celebration of Holy Eucharist to be the “. . . source and summit of the whole of the Church's worship and of the Christian life”. [Vatican II] The “living bread which came down from heaven” [Jn 6:51] is the divine school in which disciples of the Lord grow in their love for one another and ministry in his name.
