Our faith teaches that the Eucharist is the “source and summit” of life in Christ (“Lumen Gentium,” 11).

We continue our journey through the Sermon on the Mount. Let’s review. Our Lord has taught the beatitudes, those right attitudes of being. If we live the beatitudes, Jesus declares, “You are the light of the world, and the salt of the earth.” This statement is not just declarative but imperative: Live the beatitudes, be the salt, and be the light of the world. With that, Jesus addressed six precepts of the law: The law was meant to be lived not just by the letter, but by the spirit; not written only on stone tablets but on one’s heart. Our Lord calls us to a higher standard.
