"This is my body which is given for you." --Luke 22:19

As we celebrate the Last Supper, we must remember that "The Eucharist is the supreme proof of the love of Jesus" --St. Peter Eymard. It is where we consummate our union with Christ, our Bridegroom. He gives His entire self to us, and so in receiving Him we are made more like Him. Through subordination to His love and sacrifice, through receiving His body as He freely gives it up for us and to us, we are cleansed. He has done this that He might present us to Himself spotless and without blemish, His true Bride.
