OUR LADY OF THE EUCHARIST
“Hail true body…” ‐ The Eucharist webelieve to be the Body and Blood, Soul andDivinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Heforetold this great sacrament in Chapter 6 of the Gospel of St. John and He instituted it at the Last Supper. The flesh that was to be crucified, raised up in glory by the Father, the flesh that He gave us at the Last Supper and gives us sacramentally in the Eucharist is the flesh that He received from the Virgin Mary. Whether we think of the masterful composition by Mozart or the haunting Gregorian melody, the ancient Latin text is Ave Verum Corpus, natum de Maria Virgine and the antiphon translated is “Hail true Body, born of Mary the Virgin” and so it is! She is the Mother of the Eucharist, Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament!
(Fr. Giles Dimock, O.P.)
