Gospel reflection: It is the gift of divine life that enters us each time we receive the body and blood

of the Eucharist. Jesus celebrated a special meal with his disciples the night before he died. They

shared bread and wine. Jesus told them that from now on, whenever his disciples share that bread

and wine and remember him, he is present with them in a special way. When we come together for

Mass, we remember what Jesus said and did. We too share that bread and wine which is the very

life of Jesus, and it brings us all closer together. We eat the bread and drink from the cup and in our ‘Amen’ say that we

believe in Jesus, and yes we become the very body and blood of Christ. And we are sent to be ‘bread’ – to be life - for

others. The Eucharist is not something we come to watch’ it is rather something we come to do. In the action of the Mass

we gather as a consecrated people, we hold holy the memory of Jesus, we share the bread that is broken, we accept the

cup that is held out to us then we go out to live what we have received. Reflect this week on the different ways you are

“bread” for others and how others are ‘bread’ for you. (Prepared by the Liturgy Centre, Auckland)
