“Do this in memory of me.”

Jesus first spoke these words to His disciples as they gathered with Him in the Upper Room to eat the Passover meal on the eve of His Passion. He continues to speak these words to us at every Mass, at the end of the consecration of the bread and wine into His Body and Blood. As He gives us the great gift of the Eucharist, He also gives us this command: “Do this in memory of me.” There is a twofold meaning to this phrase which would benefit us greatly to reflect upon during these years of Eucharistic Revival.

First, Jesus commissioned the Twelve to do what He had done in the Upper Room. They were to take ordinary bread and wine which, through the power of the Holy Spirit become His Body and Blood, and to share that gift with His disciples as the food which nourishes us for eternal life.hus, the Eucharist is the “source and summit of the Christian life” (cf. Lumen Gentium, 11). It is the source because it is the re-presentation of Christ’s saving sacrifice on the Cross and His triumph over sin and death in the Resurrection. The life of the Christian flows out of this mystery of our redemption. The Eucharist is also the summit of Christian life because it is a foretaste of Heaven’s glory, sharing eternal life in communion with God, the angels and all the saints. Through Christ, truly present in the Eucharist, we are sacramentally united now in anticipation of the perfect unity we hope to share in Heaven. With the command to “Do this in memory of me,” Jesus wanted to ensure that His disciples throughout the ages would be spiritually nourished with this sacramental meal.

Second, through these words Jesus directs His disciples, all of us, to conform our entire lives to the pattern of selfless love which He has taught us and which is most evident in the mystery of the Eucharist. “Do this” is not only a command that the Sacrament of the Eucharist be celebrated, but also a reminder that the Lord calls each of us to give of ourselves for the good of others, to unite our sacrifices to the sacrifice of the Cross, and to live inspired by the hope of sharing in the glory of the Resurrection.

The Christian who lives a Eucharistic life doesn’t just go to Mass and receive Holy Communion. Rather we allow Christ’s Real Presence received in the Eucharist to transform our hearts, minds and wills so that our lives, in an ever-increasing way, radiate God’s love to a world desperately in need of His grace.

The love of God present in the Eucharist is infinite. We can always grow in our awareness of God’s love for us, in our acknowledgement of our need for His mercy, and in our dependence on the gifts of His grace. We should never think that we have exhausted this source of divine love which God makes available to us. Nor should we think that we have conformed ourselves to that love as much as we are able. God is never done with us. He has so much in store for us to receive and to become.

May God grant us the grace to live ever more Eucharistic lives, and may this Eucharistic Revival truly be a renewal of His life-giving presence within each of our hearts.

Many families annually prepare a special May Altar in their homes to honor the Blessed Mother. This space, set aside with an image or statue of Mary and decorated with flowers and candles, is just one example of the various ways in which Catholics show their devotion to the Mother of God during the month of May. It is the season of May Crownings and Rosary processions. Others will participate in devotions of Marian Consecration either alone or in small groups. For some, it is a fitting time to read a book on Mary’s virtues or of meditations on her life. In all these ways and more, this month is an opportunity to grow closer to Mary in prayer and to learn from her how to be a better disciple of her Son.

It is appropriate to set aside May, in particular, to honor Mary. The world around us is speaking of new life: trees have leafed out once more, flowers are blooming, and gardens and crops are being planted with the hope of a fruitful harvest. Through her faithful “Yes” to God’s plan for her life, Mary also brought new life into the world with the birth of Jesus. He would go on to make possible the restoration of a world wounded by sin to the original beauty and order it had at the beginning of creation.

Shortly after being elected, Pope Benedict XVI reflected on his predecessor, Pope St. John Paul II, calling Mary the “Woman of the Eucharist.” In the month of May, surrounded by the beauty of the Vatican gardens, the Holy Father addressed a small group of pilgrims who had just finished a Rosary procession. He said Mary was a “‘Woman of the Eucharist’ through and through, beginning with her inner disposition: from the Annunciation, when she offered herself for the Incarnation of the Word of God, to the Cross and to the Resurrection; ‘Woman of the Eucharist’ in the period subsequent to Pentecost, when she received in the Sacrament that Body which she had conceived and carried in her womb” (Address During the Prayer Meeting in the Vatican Gardens for the Conclusion of the Marian Month of May, May 31, 2005).

Pope Benedict went on to remind the pilgrims that, “Mary, living Tabernacle of God made flesh, is the Ark of the Covenant in whom the Lord visited and redeemed his people.” The presence of Jesus within her filled her with the Holy Spirit and the joy which only He can give. That is also the joy of the Church: “Welcoming Jesus and bringing Him to others is the true joy of Christians!”

Mary, like any good mother, teaches us many things. Most importantly she teaches us that the fullness of life, which we all desire, comes from closeness to Christ and following Him faithfully. Mary said “Yes” to the Archangel Gabriel, and she conceived by the Holy Spirit. Similarly, when we as believers say “Amen” before receiving the Eucharist, we are professing our faith in the Real Presence of the Lord who comes to dwell within us. Mary’s life became caught up in the mystery of redemption through childbearing the Son of God. Our lives, too, if we are open to the transforming power of the Eucharist, can likewise be used by God to renew the world in love.

May Mary, the Woman of the Eucharist, intercede for us so that, welcoming her Son into our lives, we may follow Him and conform ourselves ever more to His holy will!

Jesus was not afraid to be controversial. Declaring sins forgiven, speaking of His relationship with God the Father, and teaching the necessity to love our enemies all created a stir in Jesus’ day. Various aspects of His teachings remain controversial to this day. For example, Jesus said, “If you remain in my word, you will truly be my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (Jn. 8:31-32). In quick succession He uses the word truth three times, emphasizing the importance of that reality. Yet Pilate would later question Jesus, asking, “What is truth?” (Jn. 18:38).

Even today many people assert that objective truth does not exist outside of subjective experience. We firmly believe, however, that is not the case. In the introduction to his encyclical Fides et Ratio (FR), Pope St. John Paul II said, “God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth.” All of us, then, knowingly or unknowingly, are on a quest to learn more about the world around us and our place in that world. For His part, God has constantly been at work to reveal to us the truth underlying all of creation, namely who He is and who we are in relationship to Him.

Christ, the incarnate Word of God, speaks the truth not only through His words, but also through His actions and the Holy Spirit, which He sent after His Passion and Resurrection. Reflecting on this reality, the Fathers of the Second Vatican Council stated, “Christ… by the revelation of the mystery of the Father and His love, fully reveals man to man himself and makes his supreme calling clear. It is not surprising, then, that in Him all the aforementioned truths find their root and attain their crown” (Gaudium et Spes, 22).

Through all our scientific and intellectual pursuits, we are ultimately seeking to know the truth about ourselves and to find answers to the most fundamental questions: Who am I? What is the purpose of my life? What is good and what is evil? Is there something more than this life? These questions, though, cannot be answered by science alone; we must rely also on the Revelation we have received from God. It is our faith which opens up the fullness of the mystery of creation and helps us to understand how we are to interact with each other and the world in which we live.

Faith and science thus are not in competition with each other. Rather they inform each other, each contributing to the fullness of knowledge which we seek to possess. Pope St. John Paul II spoke about this relationship clearly: “The world and all that happens within it, including history and the fate of peoples, are realities to be observed, analyzed, and assessed with all the resources of reason, but without faith ever being foreign to the process. Faith intervenes not to abolish reason’s autonomy nor to reduce its scope for action, but solely to bring the human being to understand that in these events it is the God of Israel who acts. Thus the world and the events of history cannot be understood in depth without professing faith in the God who is at work in them” (FR, 16).

As we live in this world and study and explore all its various facets, we must never lose sight of the fact that God has created everything to reveal His love for us and to guide us along the path which leads to fully sharing in that love forever in heaven.
