Three Tips for Falling in Love with the Eucharist
Attend Mass and Receive the Eucharist Regularly
Saint John Vianney emphasized the importance of regular Mass attendance and receiving the Eucharist, stating, "There is nothing greater than the Eucharist. If God had something more precious, He would have given it to us." Attending Mass isn't solely an obligation; it’s an opportunity to encounter love profoundly. Approach Jesus with an open heart, ready to receive His love and grace.
Embrace Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament
Saint Teresa of Calcutta emphasized spending time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. She said, "When you look at the Crucifix, you understand how much Jesus loved you then. When you look at the Sacred Host, you understand how much Jesus loves you now." Make it a priority to spend dedicated time each week in Eucharistic adoration. Our perpetual Eucharistic Adoration Chapel is open to you 24/7, where you can spend time with Jesus!
Get to Know Jesus in the Word
Reflect on Mark 14:22-24, where Jesus institutes the Eucharist during the Last Supper, a Passover meal. Consider the significance of His words, "Take; this is my body" and "This is my blood of the covenant." As you participate in Mass and witness the consecration, meditate on the mystery of these words and the transformation they signify. Let the reality of Christ's presence in the Eucharist deepen your faith and understanding of His love for you, drawing you into deeper intimacy with Him.
