Quote of the day, 17 April: Blessed Marie-Eugène

What can we say on this day except to repeat the words of John the Evangelist: “Before the festival of the Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end” (Jn 13:1).

Jesus had loved his own during his earthly life; he loved them to the end. The Apostle then recounts the washing of the feet, which precedes his great act: the institution of the Eucharist.

And so the Apostle—he whom Jesus loved, who had penetrated most deeply into the secrets of his heart—presents the institution of the Eucharist as the supreme proof of Jesus’ love for his own. John seems to place it even above Christ’s Passion and death.

In the sacred texts, especially in St. Paul, the Passion is presented as the testimony of Christ’s obedience to his Father. It is the Father who handed him over; through the Incarnation and death of his Son—through his blood—he repairs sin. He reunites in Christ all that sin had separated.

And Jesus, who gives his suffering and death as proof of his obedience to the Father, gives us the institution of the Eucharist as the supreme proof of his love.

What does Jesus do in the Eucharist? He gives his sacrificed body, his flesh; he gives the blood he has poured out. He gives himself completely to us, to become our food and our drink.

He loved them completely, to the end.

This text must be interpreted: He will love his own—every Christian—until the end. He will love them through the Eucharist, he will love them through the Sacrifice of the Mass, celebrated every day, and through the participation of his own in this sacrifice, in daily communion.

Let us thank Jesus for this gift; let us thank him for all the supernatural life that has already flowed into the world and into souls through the Eucharist; let us thank him for all the ways the Eucharist identifies us with Christ.

And let us thank him in advance for the magnificent work that will be brought about by this Eucharist—his complete Mystical Body. From all eternity, God contemplates with delight this triumphant Mystical Body.

Jesus will evoke it before Pilate as his supreme vindication; he desires no other than this: “You will see the Son of Man with all his chosen ones”—with all those he has chosen, united to himself, transformed; with all those who, by contact with him and through the Eucharist, will be made one with him.

This is the vindication of his love: He loved his own to the end.

Blessed Marie-Eugène of the Child Jesus

If the Passion reveals Christ’s obedience to the Father, what does the Eucharist reveal to you?
