Remain in the Eucharist
V. When we were dead through sin, God brought us to life again in Christ,
A. because he loved us with so great a love.
V. In him is the fountain of life;
A. We drink from the streams of his goodness.
OPENING PRAYER
Lord God, who has desired that the pierced Heart of your Son be a fountain of mercy and grace for us, we ask you to teach us to abide in him, for his Heart is the very core of the initial preaching of the Gospel. “It stands at the origin of our faith, as the wellspring that refreshes and enlivens our Christian beliefs.” (Dilexit nos, no. 32)
GOSPEL (Jn 6:56)
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.
REFLECTION
How can we fail to recognize in the Eucharist the free, humble, and close love of the Heart of Christ? It is at the feet of the Eucharist that he receives us to rest in him (cf. Mt 11:28), where he nourishes us for the journey and enkindles our hearts (cf. Lk 24). It is through the Eucharist that we are transformed alongside Jesus into bread broken and givenfor our brothers and sisters.
FINAL PRAYER
Lord Jesus, may we not ” amid the frenetic pace of today’s world and our obsession with free time, consumption and diversion, cell phones and social media, forget to nourish our lives with the strength of the Eucharist.” (Dilexit nos, no. 84)
Eucharistic Heart of Christ
Receive me into your Heart
