“In every land, in every Church throughout the world, the faithful “praise in unison your conquering hand, O Lord” , as they gather on this Octave day, just one week after celebrating the Holy Thursday Last Supper. Again, celebrating the holy Sacrifice of the Mass, they “remember your kindness and your faithfulness toward the house of Israel”. By instituting the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, Jesus “made his salvation known; in the sight of the nations (through the missionary work of the apostles and disciples), he has revealed his justice” . His justice bears the face of mercy in the new order he established by taking on the form of bread and wine as his own flesh and blood.” - Sister Mary Francis, Poor Clare of St. Louis
