“Jesus Christ took on flesh to come to us and save us both from original sin inherited from our first parents and the sins each of us commits every day – even involuntarily—because unfortunately we are limited. But the Eucharist is nothing other than the heavenly food that keeps us out of temptation. When in the Lord’s Prayer we say, ‘give us this day our daily bread, and lead us not into temptation,’ Jesus meant, ‘give us today the daily Eucharist.’”
