Archbishop Lucas offers insights on the US Catholic Catechism for Adults Chapter 17:

In a variety of ways, she joyfully experiences the constant fulfillment of the promise, “Lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age” (Mt 28:20), but in the Holy Eucharist, through the changing of the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of the Lord, she rejoices in this presence with unique intensity.

The Most Reverend George J. Lucas leads the Archdiocese of Omaha.
