Today Christ is our host...

 "Jesus, you gave yourself the name of bread, the most common of all food
for the poor and the rich, the children and the elderly and at the same time
the most adequate for you, kind God. Your power is infinite and in the
excess of your love, you give yourself."  - Ven. Concepcion de Cabrera de Armida
 
 
"The bountiful Giver himself is present,
the divine gifts are set before you,
the sacred meal is ready, the life-giving wine prepared.
The King of glory summons you;
the Son of God receives you; God Incarnate Word invites you. ...
Our spiritual journey has now brought us
to the most exalted of the life-giving mysteries,
and the Lord has set before us gifts no words can describe.
Let us all meet together then for the sacred meal,
all of us who rejoice in these inexpressible delights and who,
as sharers in the heavenly calling,
willingly put on the wedding garment of undefiled faith.
Today Christ is our host,
waits upon us,
Christ who loves us refreshes us."
 
Theophilus of Alexandria
