Bulletin Announcements On The Eucharistic Revival  
 

1. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Cause: A survey in the last few years found that only 31% of Catholics believe the Church’s teaching on the Real Presence in the Eucharist. Mission: To renew the Church by enkindling a living relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. Vision: To inspire a movement of Catholics across the United States who are healed, converted, formed, and unified by an encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist—and who are then sent out on mission “for the life of the world.”

3. Eucharistic Revival - Food for Thought: Do you doubt the Real Presence? Read about the Eucharistic Miracles. https://www.osvnews.com/2021/09/10/do-you-doubt-the-real-presence-learn-about-these-eucharistic-miracles/

 

4. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: “Receiving the Eucharist means entering into a profound communion with Jesus. ‘Abide in me, and I in you’ (John 15:4). This relationship of profound and mutual ‘abiding’ enables us to have a certain foretaste of heaven on earth. Is this not the greatest of human yearnings? Is this not what God had in mind when he brought about in history his plan of salvation? God has placed in human hearts a ‘hunger’ for his word (cf. Amos 8:11), a hunger which will be satisfied only by full union with him. Eucharistic communion was given so that we might be ‘sated’ with God here on earth, in expectation of our complete fulfillment in heaven.” — Pope St. John Paul II, Mane nobiscum Domine, Oct. 7, 2004

 

5. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: “With the Eucharist the intimacy becomes total; the embrace between God and man reaches its apex.” — Pope St. John Paul II, General audience, Oct. 11, 2000

 

6. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: “Bring to your encounter with Jesus, hidden in the Eucharist, all the enthusiasm of your age, all your hopes, all your desire to love.” — Pope St. John Paul II, Mane nobiscum Domine, Oct. 7, 2004

 

7. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: “Because even when it is celebrated on the humble altar of a country church, the Eucharist is always in some way celebrated on the altar of the world. It unites heaven and earth. It embraces and permeates all creation.” — Pope St. John Paul II, Ecclesia de Eucharistia, April 17, 2003

 

8. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: “In the humble signs of bread and wine, changed into his body and blood, Christ walks beside us as our strength and our food for the journey, and he enables us to become, for everyone, witnesses of hope.” — Pope St. John Paul II, Ecclesia de Eucharistia, April 17, 2003

 

9. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: “Jesus waits for us in this sacrament of love.” – Pope St. John Paul II, Dominicae Cenae, Feb. 24, 1980

 

10. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: “Jesus is not an idea, a sentiment, a memory! Jesus is a ‘person,’ always alive and present with us! Love Jesus present in the Eucharist. He is present in a sacrificial way in Holy Mass, which renews the Sacrifice of the Cross. To go to Mass means going to Calvary to meet him, our Redeemer. He comes to us in Holy Communion and remains present in the tabernacles of our churches, for he is our friend.” - Pope St. John Paul II, Address to Italian youth, Nov. 8, 1978

 

11. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: “Were we to disregard the Eucharist, how could we overcome our own deficiency?” – Pope St. John Paul II, Ecclesia de Eucharistia, April 17, 2003

 

12. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: “And is not the enraptured gaze of Mary as she contemplated the face of the newborn Christ and cradled him in her arms that unparalleled model of love which should inspire us every time we receive Eucharistic communion?” – Pope St. John Paul II, Ecclesia de Eucharistia, April 17, 2003

 

13. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: “The Church has received the Eucharist from Christ her Lord not as one gift — however precious — among so many others, but as the gift par excellence, for it is the gift of himself, of his person in his sacred humanity, as well as the gift of his saving work.” – Pope St. John Paul II, Ecclesia de Eucharistia, April 17, 2003

 

14. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: “The Eucharist educates us to this love in a deeper way; it shows us, in fact, what value each person, our brother or sister, has in God’s eyes, if Christ offers Himself equally to each one, under the species of bread and wine. If our Eucharistic worship is authentic, it must make us grow in awareness of the dignity of each person.” – Pope St. John Paul II, Dominicae Cenae, Feb. 24, 1980

 

15. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: “Enrich your soul in the great goodness of God: The Father is your table, the Son is your food, and the Holy Spirit waits on you and then makes His dwelling in you.” – St. Catherine of Siena

 

16. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: “Recognize in this bread what hung on the cross, and in this chalice, what flowed from his side.” – St. Augustine of Hippo

 

17. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: “To partake of the holy body and blood of Christ is good and beneficial; for he says quite plainly, ‘He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life.’ Who can doubt that to share continually in life is the same thing as having life abundantly?” – St. Basil the Great

 

18. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: The parts of the Catechism of the Catholic Church focusing on the Eucharist are in paragraphs 1322 to 1419 which start at http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p2s2c1a3.htm#I

 

19. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: “I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.” - John 6:51

 

20. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: “For not as common bread and common drink do we receive these; but in like manner as Jesus Christ our Savior, having been made flesh and blood for our salvation, so likewise have we been taught that the food which is blessed by the prayer of His word, and from which our blood and flesh by transmutation are nourished, is the flesh and blood of that Jesus who was made flesh.” – St. Justin Martyr

 

21. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: “Our participation in the Body and Blood of Christ aspires to nothing other than to become what we receive.” – St. Leo the Great

 

22. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: “The guest of our soul knows our misery; He comes to find an empty tent within us - that is all He asks.” – St. Therese of Lisieux

 

23. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: “When you look at the crucifix, you understand how much Jesus loved you then. When you look at the Sacred Host, you understand how much Jesus loves you now.” – St. Teresa of Calcutta

 

24. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: “Since Christ Himself has said ‘This is My Body,’ who shall dare to doubt that It is His Body?” – St. Cyril of Jerusalem

 

25. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: “We must always have courage, and if some spiritual languor comes upon us, let us run to the feet of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, and let us place ourselves in the midst of the heavenly perfumes, and we will undoubtedly regain our strength.” – St. Padre Pio

 

26. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: “This is the wonderful truth, my dear friends: The Word, which became flesh two thousand years ago, is present today in the Eucharist.” – St. John Paul II

 

27. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: “Christ is both the priest, offering Himself, and Himself the Victim. He willed that the sacramental sign of this should be the daily sacrifice of the Church.” – St. Augustine

 

28. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: “I urge you with all the strength of my soul to approach the Eucharist Table as often as possible.” – Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati

 

29. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: “The Eucharist is the Sacrament of Love; It signifies Love, It produces Love. The Eucharist is the consummation of the whole spiritual life.” – St. Thomas Aquinas

 

30. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: “If angels could be jealous of men, they would be so for one reason: Holy Communion." – St. Maximilian Kolbe

 

31. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: “We should consider those moments spent before the Blessed Sacrament as the happiest of our lives.” – St. John Vianney

 

32. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: “You take Communion to become holy, not because you already are.” - St. Peter Julian Eymard

 

33. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: “The greatest love story of all time is contained in a tiny white host.” – Venerable Fulton Sheen

 

34. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: "A thousand years of enjoying human glory is not worth even an hour spent sweetly communing with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament." - St. Padre Pio

 

35. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL - Devotions involving the Eucharist - Mass and receipt of Communion, Corpus Christi Procession, Nine First Fridays, Eucharistic Adoration, Plenary Indulgences, Sacred Heart of Jesus devotion and Divine Mercy devotion (recognizing that Vatican-approved studies of Eucharistic miracles consistently show the consecrated host-turned-flesh is human heart muscle which has experienced extreme stress).

 

36. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – On Eucharistic Adoration

• “I am with you always.” - Matthew 28:20
• “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.” - James 4:8.
• “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” - Hebrews 13:8
• “Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!” - 2 Corinthians 9:15
• "One thing have I asked of the Lord, this I seek: To dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, That I may gaze on the loveliness of the Lord and contemplate His temple." - Psalm 27:4

 

37. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought: St. John Vianney once compared adoration to spiritual sunbathing.  You are taking in the warmth of the grace and love radiating from the Sacred Host.

 

38. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL - On Eucharistic Adoration - “My Heart is filled with sorrow to the point of death. Could you not watch one hour with Me?” (Mk 14:34). 

 

39. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Prayer - O Mary, Mother of Jesus Christ, and our dear Mother! O all ye holy angels, who, by your adoration in our churches, make up for the little love which your God and our Savior receives from men, obtain for us the grace to comprehend a little the love of Jesus Christ in the Most Holy Sacrament.”
    – St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

 

40. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Scriptures - Jesus said: “Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing” (Jn 15:4-5).

46. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought – Nine proofs of the True Presence

https://catholicstand.com/nine-proofs-of-the-true-presence-of-jesus-in-the-blessed-sacrament/?mkt_tok=NDI3LUxFUS0wNjYAAAGMWEdY7yJsTYl01SASw9CUNlD_aeqcTVeApH_g0_h-2MviknK80Xqgl4K0btEMBmkFAq5FonTgq0bVYMw1RKccfGPZhmMod-fMdhhQZo8

 

47. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought – St. Thomas, in his "Summa Theologica," says that reception of Holy Communion cleanses venial sin from the soul, that temporal punishment due to sin (in purgatory) is remitted, and that the Eucharist strengthens against committing sin in the future. The "Catechism of the Catholic Church" speaks of Communion as deepening the "intimate union with Christ Jesus."

 

48. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought – Pope Benedict XVI put it well at a 2008 audience: “We are only Christians if we encounter Christ. Of course, he does not show himself to us in this overwhelming, luminous way, as he did to Paul to make him the apostle to all peoples. But we too can encounter Christ in reading sacred Scripture, in prayer, in the liturgical life of the Church. We can touch Christ’s heart and feel Him touching ours. Only in this personal relationship with Christ, only in this encounter with the Risen One do we truly become Christians.”

 

49. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought – For a good article on a personal relationship with Christ, go to - https://www.simplycatholic.com/a-personal-relationship-with-christ/

50. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Food for Thought – “… as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me… [S]o that they be one, as we are one... that the world they may be brought to perfection as one.” (John 17:21–23) By sharing in Mass and the Eucharist, we not only become one with Christ and the Father, but also one with each other and the whole Church, the Body of Christ.

 

51. EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL – Prayer of Thanksgiving, by Pope St. John Paul II (2002): Ave verum Corpus, natum de Maria Virgine (“Hail true Body, born of the Virgin Mary”). We adore you, our Redeemer who became incarnate in the pure womb of the Virgin Mary. We give you thanks, Lord, for your Eucharistic presence in the world. For us you accepted suffering and on the cross you manifested your love for all humanity to the very end. We adore you, daily viaticum for us, all pilgrims on earth. You who know and can do all things, who nourish us on earth, lead your brothers and sisters to the table of heaven to be fellow heirs and guests with your saints forever.” Amen.
