What the Eucharist Means to Me

Today we enter into Palm Sunday and Holy Week and can reflect on two Paschal Mystery realities: the Death and Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
First, we can reflect on how we have crucified Jesus with our words and actions. How have we contributed to the crucifixion of Jesus with our sins? Where have we been unjust, mean, and wrong? What are the sins that are driving the nails deeper into Jesus' flesh and causing His heart to suffer? How can we repent of these words and actions and turn away from them?
Second, as we approach Easter at the end of this week, we can consider how will we contribute to the Resurrection of Jesus and making His rising known with our words and actions, like the disciples. How will we find joy in the Resurrection of Jesus once Good Friday and Holy Saturday have passed? How will we proclaim the Good News with our lives?
May our reflections during this Holy Week lead us to deeper repentance and conversion as a disciple of Jesus.
