Friday in the Fourth Week of Lent

We pray through Friday of the fourth week of Lent and pause at the consecration to hear what “This is my body” and “This is my blood” really demand of the heart. We reflect on why Jesus chooses bread and wine and ask whether we will unite ourselves to him, even in suffering, and give ourselves to him without holding back.• opening prayers and offering through the Immaculate Heart of Mary • sacramental matter and form and why the words matter • Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist and the total gift of himself • Fulton Sheen on bread and wine as signs of unity in the Church • bread and wine as symbols of suffering, sacrifice, and dying to self • nourishment and transformation and being changed into Christ • examination questions for surrender at Mass and union with Christ If you found this time of prayer and reflection fruitful and would like more opportunities to grow in your faith this Lent, consider joining the Cristeros and purchasing our Lenten Reflection booklet, now available on Amazon.com. The Cristeros app is available on the Apple app and Google Play Store. More information on the Cristeros can be found at the Cristeros.org.Send us Fan Mail
