Fr. Corapi on Pope Benedict and the Year of the Eucharist

EWTN news has an article on an interview of Fr. Corapi that was done recently for Zenit.org Catholic news web site. It is a great interview on his insights on the new Pope and also the Year of the Eucharist. I loved this part of the interview where Fr. Corapi talks about Pope Benedict and his relationship with the Eucharist:

"Q: Benedict XVI, at the recent Eucharistic Congress in Italy, referred to "the Eucharist as the sacrament of unity." How can we seek union with other Christian faiths through the Eucharist?

Father Corapi: Benedict XVI, like all recent Popes, will continue to stress the Eucharist as a sacrament of unity. As the "Bread of Life" consists of many grains of wheat to make the one Bread, so the Eucharist ultimately will effect unity from the many individuals, religions, etc.
The Eucharist is the key to the realization of the "one Shepherd and one flock" that we must all pray for. However, between now and then there is a chasm that can be bridged by the Holy Spirit alone. We do our part, but it will be in God's time.
Jesus clearly reminded us "I have come not to bring peace but division ... that will separate a household of five, three against two and two against three, father against son and son against father..." What could the Prince of Peace mean by this? Precisely that the bold and clear proclamation of the truth will separate at first. We know this by common experience. Some accept it, some do not.
In order for the Eucharist to effect unity, Catholics must be Eucharistic people in fact, not merely in words. The gap between what we profess and what we live must be narrowed until the Eucharist is truly the veritable source, center and summit of each Catholic's life.
We must teach the doctrine of the Eucharist clearly and faithfully and then live it just as forcefully and purely. Then, when the world sees how we believe, live and love they will be drawn as to a magnet."

As you can read from the above and from the interview in its entirety, Fr. Corapi is devoted to the Eucharist as all priests should be. He states that he prayed in front of the Blessed Sacrament all night before his ordination in Rome by Pope John Paul II. Great article, read it here:
