Reflections and Prayers for Wartime
CHAPTER VII
The Eucharist
There are certain things in life too beautiful to be forgotten. That is why we revere the sacrifice of our soldiers on Memorial Day.
The most beautiful thing about the Life of Our Lord was His Death.
Everyone else came into the world to live; He came into it to die; "to give His Life a redemption for many" (Matt. 20:28).
His Death was the one thing He wished to have remembered.
He did not ask that men should write down His words in books; He did not ask that His deeds should be recorded in history. But He did ask that men remember His Death.
