Seventeenth Week of Ordinary Time July 28, 2024 Year of the Most Holy Eucharist Reflection #31

“Assemble on the Lord’s Day, and break bread and offer the Eucharist; but first make confession of your faults, so that your sacrifice may be a pure one.” (The Didache 50-100 AD) “Make certain, therefore, that you all observe one common Eucharist; for there is but one Body of our Lord Jesus Christ, and but one cup of union with His Blood, and one single altar of sacrifice – even as also there is but one bishop, with his clergy and my own fellow-servitors the deacons. This will insure that all your doings are in full accord with the will of God.” (Saint Ignatius of Antioch 35-107 AD)
