Sacrament of the EucharistThe Eucharist is a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the Father, a blessing by which the Church expresses her gratitude to God for all his benefits, for all that he has accomplished through creation, redemption, and sanctification. Eucharist means first of all "thanksgiving."
(Catechism of the Catholic Church 1360) -
God Feeds His PeopleOn our journey through life, God nourishes us and sustains us with His own Body and Blood in the Sacrament of the Eucharist. Has it been a long time? Don't be afraid to return to the Lord! He wants to give us His Peace and Strength.
