THE ASSUMPTION OF MARY AND HOLY EUCHARIST
There’s a close relationship between the mystery of the Holy Eucharist and the mystery of the Mother of God which sheds light on her Assumption into heaven. “The bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.” Our Lord, the bread of life, is the eternal Word made flesh. ” The Word became flesh,” St. John tells us right at the beginning of the Gospel. This greatest of mysteries, by far the most staggering and momentous miracle that has ever occurred, the single greatest thing that God has ever done – the eternal, infinite, pure Spirit that is the Divine Nature joining to himself our frail, fragile bodily nature, our DNA and chromosomes, our cells and fluids, tissues and organs and systems – this mystery of mysteries, that we call the Incarnation, took place within Mary’s body. Not only within her body, but from her body. Like every other unborn child, Jesus’ flesh from Mary’s own body. The flush that hung on the cross for our salvation, the flesh and blood given to us to eat and drink in the Eucharist, took substance within and from the body of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
