Fifth Luminous Mystery: The Institution of the Eucharist

Luke 22:19-20, John 13:1-38; Mark 14:22-25

The Institution of the Eucharist – Christ offers His body and blood as food under the signs of bread and wine, and testifies “to the end” of His love for humanity, for whose salvation he will offer Himself in sacrifice.

Resolution – I resolve to reach holiness. Lord, draw me as often as You will to Holy Communion. I desire to remove from my heart all that is displeasing to You.

Thanks – Father, thank you for giving us this divine assistance. May this remain with us always.

? What do you think of when you review this mystery?

… Jesus’ love for humanity   …food for the body and soul   …the access you have weekly and daily  …how I can prepare myself for this gift of communion

After reviewing the Resolution and Thanks statements and the meditations, can you think of additional ones?
