Indeed that which in him was visible has passed on to the Church especially in her sacraments. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, Christ continues to enrich us with his life and, united with his own, we are able to offer worship acceptable to the Father by means of signs perceptible to the senses. The Eucharist therefore is the perpetual embodiment of what Christ has given to his Church by his total gift of himself. It has become the sacrament of his love for which he gave himself up to death, death on the cross (cf. Phil 2:8). It has become the sign of the unity for which e prayed on the night before he died: "Father, may they be one as you and I are one" (Jn 17:21). It has become the bond of that charity which he demands of his disciples in what he gave them as his new commandment (cf. Jn 13:34). It is all this that he asks of this disciples to do "in memory" of him. Sacrament of love, sign of unity, bond of charity: Christ intends the Eucharist to be. THE EUCHARIST: ,6 j\. f ,ke SOURCE AND GOAL WEOF THE CHURCHS MISSION IDANICITO& Word of Life DID YOU KNOW THAT... The Cross of Jesus was fifteen feet high and eight feet wide-, the length of the way to Calvary was one-half mile. St. Veronica, who wiped Jesus' face with her veil was the same woman in Matthew 9:20 who was healed from twelve years of hemorrhaging. March 25 is also the date of the Passover of the Jews through the Red Sea. God arranged it so that instead of the Cross, when raised, faced east, it faced west, thus Jesus turned His back to Jerusalem and instead faced the Gentiles and Rome when He die, where love of Him would not die. The hill on which Jesus was crucified is the same hill under which Adam is buried. Noah brought the body of Adam with him, at the time of the flood and it was later laid to rest under the hill of Calvary. Jesus died at 3 in the afternoon, the same hour in which Adam sinned by partaking of the forbidden fruit. The Seven last words of Christ from the Cross are in truth joyful, not only sorrowful, if we meditate upon them, for they brought us salvation. There are Seven Angels before the throne of God, Seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, Seven Sacraments-, Every instrument and item connected with the Passion of Our Lord are lovingly preserved to this day by Holy Mother Church: The Crown of Thorns in Notre Dame, Paris-, the sponge used to wipe Jesus' mouth is in St. John Lateran, Rome-, Longinus' spear is maintained in the Vatican itself-, The holy Robe of Christ is preserved at Treves, France. Relics of the Cross, which were found under the Hill of Golgotha or Calvary by Saint Helena in 326 are mostly preserved in the Church of the Holy Cross and in St. Peter's, Rome. Small frag­ments, carefully maintained in sealed reliquaries are in various churches and shrines throughout the world. The inscription which hung over Our Lord's Head is in the Church of the Holy Cross, Rome.
