The Eucharist: bread of hope, community on the way

2006 
The Eucharist, bread of hope, community on its way. This is a meditation about the pilgrimage of the Church as a community that was born of the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus. From the living communion with the crucified, all people united by the blood of the Lord nourish the hope of a new mankind inaugurated at the resurrection, This new mankind is anticipation of the future, living and radical presence of Jesus that transforms the sacrifice in solidarity without end, in hope which, instead of forgetting the cross, assumes it. Assuming the cross, the Eucharist encloses the fullness of history, nourishes the remembrance and hope of God’s love, embedded in our history, but called to a final consummation, when the temporary aspect of history will have disappeared, because it has been transformed and transsubstantiated into final history by the Spirit of Jesus, the risen Christ.
