Now Is the Time for Eucharistic Revival

When you face fears or troubles, where do you turn? There are so many challenges we face: at work, in our families, with our parishes. In these times of trial, do you turn to God? Do you turn to the Eucharist? Dr. Edward Sri discusses the importance of the Eucharistic Revival so as to bring more people into deeper intimacy with Jesus in the Eucharist.

Snippet from the Show
Jesus wants to be with us in our struggles, our trials, everything. He is waiting for us to turn to him in the Eucharist.

St. John Paul II on St. Clare of Assisi’s Devotion to the Eucharist

“Due to a type of iconography which has been very popular since the 17th century, Clare is often depicted holding a monstrance. This gesture recalls, although in a more solemn posture, the humble reality of this woman who, although she was very sick, prostrated herself with the help of two sisters before the silver ciborium containing the Eucharist (cf. LegCl 21), which she had placed in front of the refectory door that the Emperor’s troops were about to storm. Clare lived on that pure Bread which, according to the custom of the time, she could receive only seven times a year. On her sickbed she embroidered corporals and sent them to the poor churches in the Spoleto valley.”

“In reality Clare’s whole life was a Eucharist because, like Francis, from her cloister she raised up a continual “thanksgiving” to God in her prayer, praise, supplication, intercession, weeping, offering and sacrifice. She accepted everything and offered it to the Father in union with the infinite “thanks” of the only-begotten Son, the Child, the Crucified, the risen One, who lives at the right hand of the Father.”

Blessed Carlo Acutis

“When we face the sun we get a tan… but when we stand before Jesus in the Eucharist we become saints.”

“The more Eucharist we receive, the more we will become like Jesus, so that on earth we will have a foretaste of heaven.”
