“With fervent desire (ἐπιθυμίᾳ ἐπεθύμησα) I have desired to eat this Passover with you…” (Luke 22:15)

Knowing that one of his disciples is going to betray Him and the others are going to abandon Him at Golgotha, despite our struggle between our love for sin and our love for God, our Lord invites us to His table, seeking communion with us at his never ending mystical supper — sealing the new and eternal covenant — the celebration of the body and blood of the crucified and risen Lord.

This is the Good News that nothing separates us from the never ending love of God. With this powerful meditation of our Lord's intense longing for us Fr. Robert enjoins us to enter into the celebration of the great and mystical supper that is offered for us now and forever.
