Blest, broken, given

I just had the joy of attending the Mass of the Lord's Supper. It was so beautiful! Thank you, God, for the gifts of the Eucharist & holy priests. Fr. Bernardo gave a wonderful homily & I will try to share his insights for reflection this Triduum.
**********************
Jesus was blest, broken, & given to us in his earthly life. Then He stayed with us as He blest, broke, & gave us the Eucharist. He called his apostles, now our priests, to be blest with Holy Orders, broken in their personal wills, & given as servants to the people of God. They give Him to us in a special way every time they celebrate Mass.

We, too, have been blest in countless ways especially through the gifts of the Holy Spirit in Baptism & Confirmation. We are called to be broken in our everyday lives as we unite our struggles with Christ. We acheive true peace, joy, & salvation when we give ourselves fully to Him.
************************
AMEN! Have a Blessed Triduum!
