Kathleen Hattrup on Jesus in Eucharist and Our Fragility

"Pope Francis on the feast of Corpus Christi spoke about how Jesus chooses fragility when he offers himself in the Eucharist, because 'in the Eucharist fragility is strength.' . . .

"There’s another strength in this fragility, the Pope said, noting how in the Gospel account of the night of the Last Supper, when Jesus gives us the Eucharist, the passage begins, 'on the night he was betrayed.' This shows us the 'strength to love those who make mistakes.'"

Writer Kathleen N. Hattrup, Church and Spirituality Editor for Aleteia English, reflected on how, according to Pope Francis, Jesus' fragility in the Eucharist gives new meaning to our own fragilities,.
