Wisdom from Fr. Wilfrid Stinissen, OCD

 
 
 

The Eucharist shows that love means to go out of oneself. It points to the essential reason for which we were created. ‘Do not get fixed on yourself,’ says the Eucharist; ‘do not pity yourself. Leave yourself, think of others, live for others.’ To live Eucharistically is to live for others, given, poured out, to be food and drink.

—Fr. Wilfrid Stinissen, OCD

from his book Bread That Is Broken
