On Holy Thursday, we celebrate the institution of the Holy Eucharist. John's Gospel says that Jesus, "having loved those who were his in the world, loved them to the end."
Yes, the Holy Eucharist, Jesus' real presence is the greatest expression of Jesus' love for us, "the Bread of the Angels, made the bread of men".
English translation of the Latin text:
Bread of Angels,
made the bread of men;
The Bread of heaven
puts an end to all symbols:
A thing wonderful!
The Lord becomes our food:
poor, a servant, and humble.
We beseech Thee,
Godhead One in Three
That Thou wilt visit us,
as we worship Thee,
lead us through Thy ways,
We who wish to reach the light
in which Thou dwellest.
Amen.
