Today we celebrate the Feast of Corpus Christi — the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. What a gift we’ve been given in the Eucharist! Every time we receive Jesus in Holy Communion, something powerful happens in our hearts and lives.
Here are 7 amazing blessings the Eucharist brings Closer to Jesus
When we receive the Eucharist, Jesus comes into our hearts. We are never alone. He fills us with His peace and love.
Freedom from Sin– The Eucharist helps us turn away from sin. The more we receive Jesus, the more we want to live a life that pleases Him.
One Family in Christ – The Eucharist unites us as one Church. No matter our differences, we are all brothers and sisters in Jesus.
Love for the Poor – Jesus chose to live simply and care for the poor. The Eucharist teaches us to do the same.
Courage to Share Jesus – When we truly experience Jesus in the Eucharist, we can’t keep Him to ourselves. We’re filled with joy and want to share the Good News with others.
Hope in Death – The Eucharist prepares us for the day we will meet Jesus’ face to face. He will carry us home to heaven.
A Glimpse of Heaven – The Eucharist is a taste of the joy that awaits us forever with God. It’s our promise of eternal life.
We can never receive the Eucharist too often! I pray that all our parish family will come to Mass each week — and more if possible — to receive this incredible gift. Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist.
Have a Good Week and God Bless,
Father Varghese
