Eucharist

"If only you recognized the gift of God and Who it is that is asking you?" - John 4:10

Reflection:

"Oh, if only the Eucharist were better understood by Christians and more worthily and frequently received. How copious would be the fruits of harmony, peace, and spiritual decorum that would flow therefrom for the Church and the whole world!" - Pope John XXIII

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, help me to have a better appreciation of the Eucharist. Let me receive it with understanding, love, and thanksgiving so that it may bear abundant fruits in me.
