Today is Holy Thursday.
Tonight we celebrate the Lord's institution of the Eucharist. The Eucharist should inspire great awe in you. That God would become our very food. I've always been struck by this passage from the Pange Lingua:
"In supremae nocte cenae recumbens cum fratribus observata lege plene cibis in legalibus, cibum turbae duodenae se dat suis manibus. / On the night of that Last Supper, seated with His chosen band, He the Pascal victim eating, first fulfills the Law's command; then as Food to His Apostles gives Himself with His own hand."
