Today the Church commemorates St. Cyril of Jerusalem, Doctor of the Church, whom the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe honors! A pendentive of St. Cyril is in the dome of the Shrine Church. You have been taught and you are firmly convinced that what looks and tastes like bread and wine is not bread and wine but the body and the blood of Christ. You know also how David referred to this long ago when he sang: Bread gives strength to man’s heart and makes his face shine with the oil of gladness. Strengthen your heart, then, by receiving this bread as spiritual bread, and bring joy to the face of your soul. May purity of conscience remove the veil from the face of your soul so that be contemplating the glory of the Lord, as in a mirror, you may be transformed from glory to glory in Christ Jesus our Lord. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (Catechesis, Real Presence)
