BLESSED VIRGIN MARY, MOTHER OF THE EUCHARIST
With beautiful imagery, St. Gregory of Tours said that Mary’s Immaculate bosom is the heavenly cupboard, well stocked with the Bread of Life that was made in order to feed her children. “Blessed is the womb that bore Thee and the paps that gave Thee suck!” exclaimed a certain women to Jesus (LK: 11:27). The immaculate Virgin carried Jesus within her while His Body was being formed from her own flesh and her own blood. Thus every time we go to Holy Communion, something sweet to recall is that Jesus is the Blessed Sacrament is the Bread of Life produced from Mary with the flour of her Immaculate flesh, kneaded with the admixture of the virgin milk. She has made this for us, her children. And we realize more fully our brotherhood with one another as we all partake of this savory, exquisite Bread of our Mother. (Jesus our Eucharist Love, Fr. Stefano Manelli)
