![]() But tonight, the Savior did something far greater. ![]() Casting out demons, healing every form of illness, bringing the dead back to life, forgiving sins were all wonderful acts of grace. Feeding five thousand with a few fish and loaves, walking on water, calming the raging sea were all great manifestations of Christ’s divinity. Tonight, the Lord of creation did something far greater.Īt the Last Supper with his apostles, the Eternal Son performed his greatest work of mercy. He devised something more awesome than the seraphim and cherubim, who adore him, and the angel guardians who care for our every step, more graceful than human persons who are made supernaturally beautiful by sanctifying grace, and rendered by that grace capable of relating in love with God, and angels and men and women. The Eternal Son created something more splendid than the sun and moon and stars, mightier than the mightiest ocean, lovelier than the spring flowers that scatter color all over our land. On the night before he died, the Eternal Son, the Word through whom the Father created all things, accomplished something far greater than in the original creation. The Eucharist: More Beautiful than All Creation Editor’s note: From March 28 – March 30 this year, the Church celebrates the holiest three days of the liturgical calendar, the Easter Triduum, when we commemorate the birth of the Eucharist and the priesthood, the passion, crucifixion and death of Jesus, and then celebrate the joy of his resurrection on Easter morning.
