Living the Eucharist: Source and Summit of Christian Life

The mystery of the Eucharist is deeply rooted in the sacred history of salvation, prefigured in the Old Testament through a series of divine interventions, prophetic signs, and sacred meals that anticipated the full revelation of Christ's gift of Himself. From the earliest pages of Scripture, we see God's providential plan unfolding, preparing His people to recognize and receive the Bread of Life who would come down from heaven.
These foreshadowings are not mere symbols or metaphors; they are real events in salvation history, imbued with theological significance, that find their ultimate fulfillment in Christ.
