A consistent theme in the Psalms, "Strong is God's love for us." (Ps 117:2), Jesus affirms it with the sacrifice of the cross, and further by the on-going gift of himself in the Holy Eucharist. Realizing that we are weak, in a constant battle with our selfishness, and ever plagued with discouragement, he feeds us with the "Bread of Life", always there for the taking. Receiving Holy Communion, as with our prayers, can become rote, unless we gear up each time to realize what we are doing and how privileged we are to have him come sacramentally into our hearts. He brings his love and his strength as he physically bonds with us and under the appearance of bread and wine is digested into our systems. So strong is God's love for us, that he submits once again to become incarnate in our flesh. What a source of blessing, what a source of power! When we are "down" on ourselves for our failings, let us hasten to the Eucharist for the strengthening experience of God's love.
