“Jesus speaks in the silence of the mystery of the Eucharist and reminds us each time that following him means going out of ourselves and making our lives not something we ‘possess,’ but a gift to him and to others… The Lord leads us to follow his path — that of service, sharing and giving; and that little that we have, the little that we are, if shared, be-comes a treasure because the power of God, who is love, descends to our poverty and transforms it.” -Pope Francis
