In his exhortation, Harvey recalled that “the epic battle between good and evil has already been won.”
“It’s precisely that victory that we celebrate solemnly at Easter and every time we come to Mass and hear the words of the priest: ‘Take this and eat, this is my body,’” he said.
He also pointed out the many ways Christ is present in the world today, even if we do not always recognize him: “A stranger, a poor person, the voice of a friend, the quiet of our hearts, nature, suffering, visible and invisible ways. [Jesus] is present in our worshipping assembly, the holy Scriptures, and in a preeminent way in the sacraments, and most profoundly in the Eucharist.”
