Reconciling Victimhood

In Eucharistic Prayer III, the Priest entreats the Heavenly Father to “recognize” in “the oblation of the Church” present on the Altar under the appearance of Bread and Wine - “the sacrificial Victim by whose death” He has “reconciled us to Himself.” If we as Roman Catholics entreat the Eternal Father to “recognize” in what appears to be simple Bread and Wine upon the Altar His very own Son then who are we not to “recognize” in the Eucharist the same sacrificial Victim by whose death the Father has reconciled us to Himself? Does this act of “recognizing” cease with the final blessing of the Holy Mass or are we called to continue “recognizing” the Presence of this sacrificial Victim in the Tabernacle where His Presence is an abiding, substantial Presence? St. John in chapter 1 verse 14 of his Gospel says, “And the Word became flesh and dwelt (Tabernacled) among us and we beheld His glory.” By taking time to prayerfully “recognize” the Presence of Christ in the Tabernacle we are in fact proclaiming the Gospel for we are at that moment "beholding the glory” of the “Word made flesh” who “Tabernacles” among us precisely in the “flesh” which He “gives for the life of the world”. John 6:51 As we behold the flesh which He gives for the life of the world we are “recognizing” the sacrificial Victim by whose death we are reconciled to the Father. The Tabernacle houses this Divine Victim of reconciliation and while one can seek to “recognize” the Presence of God in all times and spaces we must remember with the deepest attitude of gratitude the continuing Presence of Christ in the Tabernacle which far from being simply one mode of Presence among many, is the very Presence in which His Sacred Humanity is accessible to the faithful. Why should it be considered the most exalted manner of spending time in the Presence of God? The clearest and to me the most convincing reason lies in the word ‘gratitude' for the mystery of the Incarnation (God becoming Man, the Word made flesh) with its inseparable Eucharistic link to the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Christ. The Humanity of Christ was made sacred by virtue of the hypostatic union (the union of the divine nature and the human nature in the 2nd Person of the most holy Trinity whom we delight to call JESUS), a union which began by the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The 2nd Person of the Trinity became a man so that He could offer as an unblemished sacrifice His life as the sacrifice which brings atonement. So when we take time to “behold” or to “recognize” in the Most Blessed Sacrament - “the sacrificial Victim” whose “glory” is the glory of the Word made flesh, we are expressing our utmost, heartfelt devotion for the unmerited gift of the sacrificial death of Jesus on the cross. So it is that in the Tabernacle ‘we behold’ or at least we are called “to recognize” that Christ is Present in the humanity in which He suffered for me and for YOU. Why would we wish as a regular occurrence to “recognize” prayerfully the Presence of God elsewhere when Christ Himself chose to “stay with us” in “love to the end” within the tiny walls of the Tabernacle?
