Answer:
Lord Jesus, in the Mass, you have given us an image of the magnificent banquet of heaven. In the Mass, Lord Jesus, you provide for us, your people, the spiritual nourishment of your Body and Blood. In the Mass, Lord Jesus, you wipe away the tears from our faces, for in the Eucharist, the sacrament of your death and resurrection, we have a guarantee of our own resurrection from the dead. Lord Jesus, you said: “Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life and I will raise them up on the last day” (Jn.6:54). In every Mass, we can proclaim: “Behold our God, to whom we looked to save us! This is the Lord for whom we looked; let us rejoice and be glad that the Lord has saved us!”
