new and everlasting covenant
The eucharist is the sacrament of God's Love, God is the center of the mystery, the essence of faith, if we do not understand this exciting truth we can not understand nothing of God, nor man, nor of the universe.
God creates the world to join him in love all men, to make them partakers of his life, his divinity.
God incarnates to marry humanity. It pass humanity from its condition as a creature to His divine status. The kingdom of heaven is like a king who gave a wedding banquet for his son ... (22.2 to 14 Mt). It's Easter! Jesus embraces the humanity and leads to his house, the house of the Father: Father, I want those you have given me, be with me where I am, to behold my glory which you have given me because you you loved me before the creation of the world (Jn 17.24). ...
This is not a metaphor. It is the marriage itself! The others - even our most beautiful weddings land - there are only a pale and distant image, a spark of the flame of the Lord (Song 8:6). God becomes incarnate in order to marry in the sense of humanity stronger than the word, ie to make it eternally with one being, one flesh: The two shall become one flesh. This mystery is great, I mean in reference to Christ and the Church! (Eph 5:31-32). I am in the Father and you in me and I in you (Jn 14:20).
not embrace a passenger and on the whole surface, but the merger. Fusion, no confusion: this is the desire of God himself, mad with love for humanity.
Our mortal body divide more than unite. The Risen Christ in his condition, may be one with humanity, he can only be flesh of his flesh, giving himself to her as real food and real drink (John 6:55), since all human barriers are removed, in his glorified body. The man Christ and thus truly become one: man eats God and so are two in one flesh.
The eucharistic meal is primarily this: to communicate with God
The primary reality of the Eucharist is that it is primarily a fusion without confusion of God with man.
The second is that it is the ' man, of every man and not just me. God became man, uniting to himself personally the man called Jesus, in order to marry the whole of humanity through man Jesus Christ died and rose again, making food into the flesh of the flesh of all mankind. The incarnation does not end in Christ, but reaches all mankind. God became man so that man might become God Every man!
