The Eucharist is central to LAMP's spirituality. The mission of the Church is a continuity of the mission of Christ and draws spiritual energy from communion with His Body and Blood.

In his encyclical letter "The Church and the Eucharist", Pope John Paul II discusses how the social and religious challenges facing humanity calls believers to renew their missionary fervor. Yes! It is necessary to re-launch mission with courage, starting with the proclamation of Christ, Redeemer of every human person. Gathered around the altar, the Church understands her origin and her missionary mandate. The mission of the Church is a continuity of the mission of Christ (cfr Jn 20,21), and draws spiritual energy from communion with his Body and Blood.

Nourished by Him, believers come to understand that the missionary task means being "acceptable as an offering, made holy by the Holy Spirit" (Rom 15,16), in order to be more and more "one, in heart and mind" (Acts 4,32) and to be witnesses of his love to the ends of the earth. Journeying through the centuries, reliving every day the Sacrifice of the altar, the Church, the People of God, awaits Christ’s coming in glory.

The Body of Christ. Amen. This is Jesus Christ in the fullness of His Divinity and Humanity. Amen!

The Body of Christ. Amen. This is who I am. "You become what you receive" (St Augustine). Amen!

The Body of Christ. Amen. This is the Whole Christ: Christ in His Body, in His brothers and sisters, especially in the poor and suffering. Amen!

The Body of Christ: the sacrament of unity and Christ-like love, a call to forgiveness and unity, the challenge to become, like Jesus, a servant with basin and towel. Amen!
