Today at Mass just before the consecration, I heard about these words: "He (Jesus) on the eve of his Passion, he revealed his infinite love for the supper."
These words seem to me to be quite extraordinary.
How is the eve of his Passion? After all, Jesus revealed his love for us was during the Passion, giving his life for us, giving himself for us.
"The love of God is revealed to us, that He gave His Son for us."
"Christ loved the church and gave himself for it."
Many of these statements can be found in the New Testament.
So it is something special in the Last Supper. Indeed, it not only was preceded by in a bloodless sacrifice of Jesus, but it was a sign of the same self-giving " Take, eat, this is My Body which is given for you. Take and drink, this is my blood which is shed for you. " Jesus gave himself completely real and even during the Last Supper. It is a miracle that we can not understand! "Do this in remembrance of me" means that Jesus gave his apostles the power to do more of a miracle. Therefore, each have a Christmas embodies, makes present the sacrifice of Jesus. Whenever we celebrate it, Jesus seems to be for us, dying for us! With love.
why the Eucharist is called the Sacrament of Love, a sign of love. Every Eucharist reveals God's love for us.
searching love of God, I can not ignore the mass. There, it is most visible. But at the same time most hidden, the occult, to which imposes no. Yet it is a memorial of the death and resurrection, which are "proof" of God's love. There is another reason of the death of Jesus, than that stated by Sts. John "For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that everyone whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. "
love of God is not somewhere far away from us, but it has real consequences. It is not so, that God loves us and nothing changes. He wants us to accept his love in order to have life.
When we realize that Jesus reveals to us his love by dying for our sins, which are death, we find the answer to the question of why people do not believe in the love of God, why do not they want to, they can not accept it. One reason may be a lack of appreciation of their own sinfulness. The man who does not happen in this truth, do not appreciate the work of the Lord Jesus. The man who does not see that the sin of asking him to death, will not look for the water of life which is Christ.
In today's world, in which he says is mainly a success, fulfillment, self-satisfaction, where there psychoanalysis healing us from overwhelming feelings of guilt, not only the category of sin that has been marginalized, but actually pushed out and condemned, as standing in the way of that. We would rather talk about the mistakes, which commits each. "To err is human."
But is it true about man?
love and mercy of God may be revealed only where there is recognition of their own sinfulness.
confirms our experience of the saints. The more they grow in holiness, the more they grow in sinfulness and their own sense of smallness. And it has nothing to do with false modesty.
Then it turns out that sin is not something paralyzing. Instead of wasting power in the attempt to displace from the consciousness of sin and experience to better use them to fight with him.
If you are wondering today, why not experience God's love, see if you acknowledge your sin. Though our sins dug an abyss between us and God, while there may be a place to experience charity. "Where sin increased, yet grace abounded."
Just today, how do you convince a man of his sin?
