Day 28: Blessed are Those Called to the Supper of the Lamb

Everytime you go to Mass, you’re receiving a wedding invitation to the marriage of Christ and the Church! This is the wedding “supper of the Lamb” mentioned in the Eucharistic prayer. Dr. Sri explores the Biblical roots of this phrase that is said every Mass, and draws from Pope John Paul II’s encyclical, “Ecclesia De Eucharistia” to explain how Mary is a model of the Eucharist and how she can teach us to more fully receive the Eucharist and truly rest with Jesus.

How can you approach Holy Communion with a deeper awareness that you are being invited into intimate union with Jesus?In what ways can you imitate Mary’s attentiveness, love, and openness to Jesus when you receive the Eucharist?How can you create more space in your heart to rest with Jesus and share your gratitude, desires, and struggles with him?What would it look like for you to be more fully present to Jesus in the quiet moments after receiving Communion?
