Message 49: I Give Myself to the Good and the Bad, Diary of a MOC

• Catechism 
• CCC 1323 \u201cAt the Last Supper, on the night he was betrayed, our Savior instituted the Eucharistic sacrifice of his Body and Blood. This he did in order to perpetuate the sacrifice of the cross\u2026
• CCC-1324 The Eucharist is \u201cthe source and summit of the Christian life.
• Has the Eucharist become the source and summit of your life? If not, why?
• CCC-1367 The sacrifice of Christ and the sacrifice of the Eucharist are one single sacrifice: \u201cThe victim is one and the same: the same now offers through the ministry of priests, who then offered himself on the cross; only the manner of offering is different.\u201d \u201cAnd since in this divine sacrifice which is celebrated in the Mass, the same Christ who offered himself once in a bloody manner on the altar of the cross is contained and is offered in an unbloody manner. . . this sacrifice is truly propitiatory.\u201d

• Mathew 5:43-48:  You have heard that it was said, \u2018You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.\u2019 But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? Do not the tax...
