The following is part of an Easter message I received from a dear friend and priest. His words of wisdom and truth sum up, for me, what Easter is all about.
The eschatological dimension of the Eucharist is a reminder that "as often as we eat this Bread and drink this Cup, we proclaim the death of the Lord." Nevertheless we are receiving the glorified, risen Body of Christ. Hence we are progressively drawn into the mystery of the Resurrection and our own final union with Christ in Heaven. We share in His suffering when the "Bread is broken" and His resurrection when we "eat this Bread". What keeps us going from one stage to the next are the graces of the Sacrifice and Sacrament.
Christ is Risen! He is Truly Risen!
