Catechism Meditation:
The Eucharist is “the source and summit of the Christian life.” ―No. 1324
REFLECTION. The ancients spoke of “ambrosia,” this food of the gods that gave immortality to mortals if they could eat it. In the Eucharist we share not just food of the gods but food that is God. All of the power and wisdom and strength contained in the divinity of Christ becomes a part of us as we partake in the heavenly banquet.
In a society where the Lord is often forgotten and even a majority of Catholics do not believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, the National Eucharistic Revival is meant to rededicate the entire nation to the Eucharistic Jesus.
PRAYER. Lord, help me to come to a deeper belief and a fuller understanding of the gift you give us of Yourself in the Eucharist.
Timeless Wisdom Quote:
“He who later on called Himself ‘the Living Bread descended from Heaven’ was born in Bethlehem – which in Hebrew means ‘house of bread.’ And He was laid in a manger – a place of food – as if to show us that as we have bread for our bodies, so He would be the Bread of our souls.” ― Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
