A Revival of Love

"As bodily nourishment restores lost strength, so the Eucharist strengthens our charity, which tends to be weakened in daily life; and this living charity wipes away venial sins. By giving himself to us Christ revives our love and enables us to break our disordered attachments to creatures and root ourselves in him."

The Catechism of the Catholic Church #1394

As we consume the bread and wine of the eucharist and these elements become a part of our physical body, we are in turn consumed by the Lord of Love and become a part of his living body on earth. Christ's true presence in the sacrament transforms us who receive it in faith into images of the living God. With it goes the responsibility to love in the way he taught us so that the world will know that God is indeed in our midst.

The Eucharistic Visit

Besides, daily mass and meditation, the Society of St. Paul spends one hour before the blessed sacrament a day in prayer and reflection. This helps to focus our hopes, calm our fears, and strengthen us for our mission.
