Turn to any page of St. Faustina’s Diary, and you’ll find spiritual gems, like this one: Thursday. Although I was very tired today, I nevertheless resolved to make a Holy Hour. I could not pray, nor could I remain kneeling, but I remained in prayer for a whole hour and united myself in spirit with those souls who are already worshiping God in the perfect way. [Then Jesus said to me,] Your prayer is extremely pleasing to Me (Diary, 691).
The Eucharist is the Source and Summit of our Catholic faith. Jesus said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you” (Jn 6:53). Father Donald Calloway, MIC, reminds us that the Real Presence of Jesus in Holy Communion – the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our Lord – is transformative, and so we must receive Him worthily, free from mortal sin. Then hear firsthand from individuals on the power of Eucharist in their lives, for it is in the Lord that we find our strength.
