    What is a Eucharist?
    • The Eucharist as the CCC clearly puts it, is "the source and summit of
    the Christian life." "The other sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical
    ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist
    and are oriented toward it. For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the
    whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself, our Pasch."
    • The Catechism added by stating “The Eucharist is a sacrifice of
    thanksgiving to the Father, a blessing by which the Church expresses
    her gratitude to God for all his benefits, for all that he has accomplished
    through creation, redemption, and sanctification. Eucharist means first
    of all "thanksgiving." (CCC 1360)

    The Centrality of the
    Eucharist: Mother Ignacia

    IFP001 - 13. THE EUCHARISTIC LIFE OF MOTHER IGNACIA (google.com)


    • …”He took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to
    them”. Referred to as the four-fold action in the Eucharist, this
    outlines what Chistian life is all about. Like the body of Christ,
    each is chosen, blessed, broken and shared. This was the life of
    Mother Ignacia and the foundational community when they were
    establishing the congregation known at that time as the Beaterio
    de la Compania. The centrality of the Eucharist in the lives of
    Mother Ignacia del Espiritu Santo and the Beatas was stressed in
    the 1726 Rules and Constitutions, “everyone, excluding the sick,
    should be present at Mass every day and listen to sermons given
    at Church” (I.19)
    •“He took bread…” Mother Ignacia and the
    foundational community were God’s chosen people first
    by the virtue of the baptism, to experience, proclaim and
    share his love to the poor. By virtue of their consecration
    to the Lord, they were chosen to be witnesses of poverty,
    chastity and obedience. “Although the Beaterio was not
    canonically recognized as a religious congregation, it was
    the great desire of Mother Ignacia that her life and that of
    her followers be as much as “religious women” as
    possible (S. Ma. Rita Ferraris, Digitus dei est hic, 15).
    • “... said the blessing…” As they were chosen, they were blessed
    with what they need to sustain them and continually desire “to serve
    God, our Lord, with all their hearts and to acquire the necessary
    knowledge in order to reach the road to perfection” (1726, I.I). The joy
    of the community life was their constant blessing. “They enjoyed being
    together. “ (Co, 1998, 17) They were also blessed with the serenity of a
    life of prayer as expressed clearly in the Rules: In all places and at all
    times, they should liver in the Rules: “in all places and at all times,
    they should live in the presence of God our Lord” (1726, I.2). And
    what a blessing it must be to be alight to a wider community which
    was scarred with the darkness of the discrimination and offense of the
    colonial period.
    • “...broke it…” But to fully have a Eucharistic life, they too
    must be broken. Grinding of wheat and crushing of grape
    fruits are essential to bring out tasty bread and wine. Mother
    Ignacia and the foundational community had their share of
    being broken. They experienced excessive poverty, illness of
    some members due to said poverty and extreme penance,
    colonial rule that curtailed native religious institutions and
    the expulsion of the Jesuits from the country. And certainly,
    there were challenges of community life, the difficulties of
    their embrace mission and personal limitations.
    •“... and gave it to them…” The anguish experienced in the
    process of being broken brings about the sweetest flavour of joy.
    “In the midst of their poverty and difficulties, Mother Ingnacia
    continued to inspire the community in living a balanced life of
    prayer and work” (Co, 18). They continued to grow in number by
    the life they witnessed, affect the Church and society, and
    continue to spread the love of God until today. This chain of
    sharing all started when Mother Ignacia responded to the call and
    closed her door of a solitary life to bring out a new dawn that
    would welcome a fellowship, a community of women united in
    their love and devotion to God.
    • Mother Ignacia was able to get out of herself and serve
    others because she loved Jesus. Her union with Jesus in
    the Eucharist gave her the strength to get out of herself
    and serve others without counting the cost or seeking
    recognition for herself. Love for God was the motive of
    her actions. She strongly felt God’s love for her. A life of
    service was her way of thanking God for the many
    blessings she received. Truly, the life of Mother Ignacia
    was Eucharistic.
    • The deepening of the prayer life of Mother Ignacia resulted
    in the desire to give herself to God. She committed herself
    to a life of prayer, sacrifice and service. Her love for God
    and neighbor was nourished by the Eucharist. Mother
    Ignacia showed her love for Jesus in the Eucharist by
    serving others. She taught her companions to do all things
    “out of love for Jesus.” Because M. Ignacia’s life was
    centered on the Eucharist, the tradition that she died after
    receiving holy communion appears as a fitting conclusion
    to her life spent in service of God and others.`
