Column: Deepen Your Connection to the Holy Eucharist
-
March 4, 2024As Catholics, we believe that Jesus is truly present—Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity—in Holy Communion. Under the signs of bread and wine, the Lord of the Universe becomes present to us, in a way that we can receive and consume Him.
We know that the bread and wine at Mass become Christ’s Body and Blood, because He said so: “This is my body…This is my blood.” The Word of God is effective—what God says, is. As a priest, I stand in for Jesus and use His words—and by the power of the Holy Spirit, those words are once again effective. The Lord becomes present in the Blessed Sacrament, and we who receive Him become more like Him.
Would you like to get more out of Mass? Would you like to deepen your faith and connection to Jesus in the Holy Eucharist? Join me for a weekly Eucharistic consecration study using Matthew Kelly’s book 33 Days to Eucharistic Glory. We will kick this study off next Wednesday, March 6, and complete our consecration on Divine Mercy Sunday, April 7.
The complete schedule is as follows, but don’t worry—if you miss a session, you can simply continue to read the book and rejoin us the next week!
SCHEDULE- KICKOFF: Wed 3/6 10:00 AM (social hall) or 6:30 PM (church)
- Sun 3/10 3:30-4:30 PM (church)
- Sun 3/17 3:30-4:30 PM (church)
- Sun 3/24 3:30-4:30 PM (social hall)
- FINAL SESSION: Wed 4/3 at 10:00 AM (social hall) or 6:30 PM (church)
- CONSECRATION: Sun 4/7 at 2:30 PM (church)
If you are unable to join our study, but want to complete the consecration on your own, please do—and feel free to join us on April 7 at the church.
The Eucharist is often referred to as the source and summit of our Catholic faith. I hope you will join me this month to unite yourself more fully to Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. God bless you!
