Daily Message from Pope Francis – The Eucharist is Not the Reward of Saints, but the Bread of Sinners


WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9, 2021

“There is another strength that stands out in the fragility of the Eucharist: the strength to love those who make mistakes… betrayal is the worst suffering for one who loves. And what does Jesus do? He reacts to the evil with a greater good… When we receive the Eucharist, Jesus does the same with us: He knows us; He knows we are sinners; He knows we make many mistakes, but He does not give up on joining His life to ours. He knows that we need it, because the Eucharist is not the reward of saints, but the Bread of sinners. This is why He exhorts us: “Do not be afraid! Take and eat.”” Pope Francis
