Abbot Matthew Stark  O.S.B. I March 4, 2020

The prayers of today’s Mass speak of the eucharist as an Eternal Remedy, the source of refreshment that brings us to Eternal Life. Saint John of the Cross calls it the supper that refreshes and deepens love. Our Lord says He is the living bread, and those who eat that bread will live forever. He says that the bread he gives is his flesh for the life of the world. May we know more deeply and value more greatly that gift of eternal refreshment and life.
