This month's cover
features the striking
piece by Renaissance
painter Juan de
Juanes entitled Christ
the Savior with the
Eucharist. The words
"Let Jesus be the
teacher" are taken
from Archbishop
Aquila's pastoral
note on John 6,
which came to him
in prayer. May Jesus
always be our teacher,
especially regarding
his Real Presence
in the Eucharist!
