天主: 我对你的救赎怀有深沉的爱，如同深渊般不可测度。为了你的救赎，我赐予你圣体圣事，作为你在尘世旅程中的甘甜食物，让你不忘我为你流出的宝血。因此，你理应回报我以爱，因为我如此爱你，并且作为至高的永恒善，理应得到你的爱。 天父马克·玛丽神父: 圣加大利纳·西埃纳的《对话录》中，天主对我们的爱被比作深渊，象征着其深不可测的程度。父母对孩子的爱可以作为理解天主之爱的参照，但天主之爱更加深沉、无穷无尽。圣体圣事是天主对我们爱的具体体现，是祂从爱之深渊给予我们的礼物，旨在拯救我们。耶稣渴望与我们共进逾越节晚餐，这体现了祂对我们的深切渴望。我们应该对圣体圣事怀有感恩之心，并悔改对圣体圣事的冷漠或不敬。在祈祷中，我们可以想象自己与耶稣面对面，感受祂的爱，并回应祂的爱。

Shownotes Transcript

Aided by a meditation from St. Catherine of Siena’s Dialogue, we reflect on the profound gift of the Eucharist. Jesus tells each and every one of us how deeply he loves us as he says,  ”I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you,” a love we partake of each time we approach the Eucharist. Today’s focus is the mystery of the Institution of the Eucharist and we will be praying one decade of the Rosary.
