The Pope called the Eucharist "our most precious treasure" because it contains "all the mystery of our salvation." He also emphasized the need to "do everything possible" to receive Our Lord "with a pure heart". To receive in a state of grave sin, he noted, "opposes the action of Eucharistic grace".The text of Pope Benedict's homily for the 49th Eucharistic Congress: The Eucharist Is Not a Meal Among Friends, can be read here.
