“People who place themselves before the sun get a tan; people who place themselves before the Eucharist become saints.” – Saint Carlo Acutis
The disciples joined Jesus in the upper room, hours before the Lord was arrested. He gave us the greatest gifts possible in this room on that evening – Himself in the Eucharist and the priests to present this miracle to us.
In Mass, we join together in the upper room. We watch and hear Jesus as He lifts the bread and cup, consecrated bread and wine as His True Presence – Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. 100% and more of Himself, present in the Eucharist. Present that we may be changed forever.
Come before the Eucharist with sincere knowledge and faith that this IS fully Jesus. Not some symbol and snack. Not an act we do just because. This is the opportunity to encounter Jesus more fully than any other in action. We want it all!
Don’t just come forward to receive the wafer. Come forward to become a saint. Lay yourself fully before the Eucharist and let Jesus come fully within your body, mind, soul and heart. As you receive and give your amen, offer yourself to this Jesus. Ask Jesus in this moment to take away, burn away your sins, temptations and the repercussions of each. Ask Him NOW to make you all the Father created you to be – a great Saint.
