The Eucharist, a perpetual sign of God's love

At the Last Supper, Jesus left us the wonderful sacrament of his body and blood, truly present in the consecrated species of the Eucharist. The Eucharist is a sign of a love that transcends the human heart and calls us to adore God and to serve our neighbour. From the homily of John Paul II on Maundy Thursday, 2001.
