‘The Eucharist commits us to the poor.To receive in truth the Body and Blood of Christ given up for us, we must recognize Christ in the poorest, his brethren.’
Catechism of the Catholic Church, #1397
Did you know?
The Prayer after communion is not a prayer of thanksgiving; rather, we now ask for the fruits of the Eucharist, that the sacrament may have an effect in our lives, that it will help us bring the Lord’s love to the world, give us new purpose as disciples, lead us to share Christ’s eternal life, have the Lord touch our lives, teach us the way to everlasting glory, continue the saving work of the Eucharist, and keep us single-minded in service to God and others.
