Weekly Reflection The Eucharist is central to our faith. It is the source of our strength. It should remind us that Christ is truly within us and that if we allow His grace to work in us, we shall be transformed. How important is the Eucharist to you? Do you see it as an important aspect of the practice of your faith? Reflect on the gift Christ has given us in the Eucharist. Pray for the grace to truly value this precious gift.
