Thursday in the Fifth Week of Easter

We pray through the fifth week of Easter and place our whole day on the altar through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. We hear Saint Gaudencius teach why the Church receives the Eucharist as Christ’s true body and blood and we ask God for perseverance when faith feels hard. • opening invocations and the Morning Offering for intentions, sins, and the Holy Father • Saint Gaudencius on Christ’s one sacrifice offered in every church for healing and life • why wine signifies Christ’s blood and the “true vine” in the Gospel • how bread and wine become heavenly gifts through Christ’s promise and power • responding to “this teaching is too hard” by trusting the Spirit who gives life • prayers for courage, perseverance, and mercy through the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary If you found this time of prayer and reflection fruitful and would like more opportunities to grow in your faith, consider joining the Christeros and purchasing our publications now available on Amazon.com.
