根據保祿的說法,我們領受、參與耶穌的聖體聖血是慶祝的果實。
耶穌留下了一系列禮儀行為,作為祂為拯救世人而獻出自己的紀念。
祂吩咐門徒也這樣做。
在禮儀慶典中,耶穌的意向作用於我們。
祂使我們與祂合而為一,也使我們彼此合而為一。
我們成為耶穌救恩的活生生的宣告,祂在世上的臨在。
這一切並非出於我們自身,而是源自耶穌意向的力量,這力量透過禮儀作用於我們。
According to Paul, our participation to the body and blood of Jesus is the fruit of the celebration.
Jesus left a set of liturgical acts as the memorial of the gift of himself for the salvation of all.
He told the disciples to do the same.
In the liturgical celebration the intention of Jesus acts on us.
He makes us one with him and one among ourselves.
We become the living announcement of Jesus’ salvation, His presence in the world.
All this does not come from us. It comes from the power of Jesus’ intention that works on us through the liturgy.
