"Sacrifice"

The old Jewish priests stood daily offering the same sacrifices that could never take away sins (Heb. 10:11), whereas Catholic priests stand daily offering the same sacrifices that can take away sins (Heb. 9:23), as now the Messiah has come.

Bishop Kevin Rhoades on the BTS of the USCCB's Eucharist Document

When the U.S. bishops decided to write a document on the Eucharist, Bishop Kevin Rhoades was responsible for actually making that happen.

But it wasn't easy. He sat down with The Pillar to talk about the process, the document, and Eucharistic revival:

A Latin Perspective, Naturally

The emphasis on giving back to God...

The Eucharist is Jesus himself who gives himself entirely to us. Nourishing ourselves of Him and abiding in Him through Eucharistic Communion, if we do so with faith, transforms our life, transforms it into a gift to God and to our brothers and sisters. #HolyThursday

— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) April 1, 2021

Eucharistia ipse Iesus est, qui ex integro nobis dono datur. Eo pasci et in Eo per eucharisticam Communionem commorari, si hoc cum fide facimus, vitam nostram innovat, in donum innovat Deo et fratribus. #FeriaVinCenaDomini

What would the alternative to this understanding be? Christ is becoming present on the altar? Christ comes to dwell with us?

Thanksgiving for the Eucharist?

But it is not a private devotional taking place after the Eucharist; rather an integral part of it.

Eucharistia and Prayer

Is receiving God through Holy Communion greater than receiving God through prayer? https://t.co/TwA1jepeoX

— OCN (@MyOCN) December 17, 2020

Question: Is receiving God through Holy Communion greater than receiving God through prayer?

Answer: We receive God through grace and grace comes to us in many ways. It comes when we invoke His Name with reverence and humility; when we pray and live by the word of God; when we receive Holy Communion with the testimony of a good conscience. We accumulate grace in every instant of our life, if we meet our fellows with a good heart, respect and honour. There are many means of acquiring the grace of God in order to preserve our heart alive with the sensation of God, and this is essential: for as long as our heart is warmed up by the grace of God, no alien thought can approach us and we are unassailable by the enemy.

We are able to invoke His Name with reverence and humility thanks to God's grace. The following answer has a more exact elucidation of our total dependence on God.

Question: I have a philosophical proud mind. How can we acquire stillness if we are proud?

Answer: Pride seems to accompany every our attempt to present ourselves before God in prayer and come close to Him. The most practical way to acquire humility is continual thanksgiving. The Spirit of God always inspires gratitude (1 Cor. 2:12). Father Sophrony makes a distinction between spiritual humility and ascetical humility. Ascetical humility consists of always reproaching and considering ourselves as worse than all, as we are commanded in the Gospel: ‘When ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do’ (Luke 17:10). As for spiritual humility, it is indescribable. It is granted to those who have already contemplated the beauty of the Risen Lord, the Light of His Face, which wounds them with the deep conviction that they are unworthy of such a loving God as Christ is.

I do note that he doesn't really answer the first question.

Eucharistia and Gratitude

Being thankful is the characteristic Way of the Christian. That’s what the Eucharist indicates: giving thanks. Is there any time, ever, that we cannot give thanks to God? Never. https://t.co/291SRISInl

Giving Thanks

"Maybe we spend too much time focused on the “thanks,” and not enough on the 'giving.'"?

Thanksgiving
