DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE REAL PRESENCE?

The Eucharist Is the Real Presence of Jesus Christ

The doctrine of the Real Presence asserts that in the Holy Eucharist, Jesus is literally and wholly present -- body, blood, soul and divinity -- under the appearances of bread and wine.

(1 Corinthians 10:16-17; 11:23-29 and
John 6:32-71)

“In the Eucharist is the same identical Jesus Who was carried by Mary for nine months in her womb before she delivered Him in Bethlehem. It is the selfsame Jesus Who died on the Cross, rose from the dead and ascended into heaven.” _ Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J.

Your faith in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist will save you. Your faith in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist will heal you. Your faith in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist will deliver you.

“Faith is (a grace) a gift of God,
a supernatural virtue infused by Him.”

(CCC 153)

“Courage, daughter! Your faith has saved you.” And from that hour the woman was cured. (Matthew 9:22)

“Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace and be cured of your affliction.” (Mark 5:34) … “Go your way; your faith has saved you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Him on the way. (Mark 10:52)

“Daughter, your faith has saved you; go in peace.” (Luke 8:48) … “Stand up and go; your faith has saved you.” (Luke 17:19) … “Have sight; your faith has saved you.” (Luke 18: 42)

At Lystra there was a crippled man, lame from birth, who had never walked. He listened to Paul speaking, who looked intently at him, saw that he had the faith to be healed, and called out in a loud voice, “Stand up straight on your feet.” He jumped up and began to walk about. (Acts 14:8-10)

In June 2010, I took a demonized woman to a Perpetual Adoration Chapel for ministry. While we were there, the woman had a mystical experience before the Blessed Sacrament -- and she started to believe in the Real Presence. And as the woman’s faith in the Real Presence grew, the demons withdrew! (The demonic voices in her head were silenced.)

“Do not, therefore, regard the bread and wine as simply that, for they are, according to the Master’s declaration, the body and blood of Christ. Even though the senses suggest to you the other, let faith make you firm. Do not judge in this matter by taste, but be fully assured by faith, not doubting that you have been deemed worthy of the body and blood of Christ.” _ Cyril of Jerusalem [Saint Cyril, Bishop of Jerusalem (348-378) “Doctor of the Church” (Catechetical Discourses: Mystagogic 4:22:9)]

THE MORNING OFFERING

“When you awake, enter at once into My Heart, and when you are in It, offer My Father all your actions united to the pulsations of My Heart…” 

_ Our Lord Jesus -to- Sr. Josefa Menendez

“In the Name of the Father,

and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.”

O Jesus, 

I place my life and family in Your Sacred Heart; and through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer the Eternal Father all my thoughts, desires, words, prayers, all my actions, works, joys and sufferings of this day in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world.

I offer my pain and suffering for the conversion of all members of my family, for all who have asked for my prayers (for everyone on my prayer list), and for the shepherds of our Church.

Lead us and guide us; protect us from the world, the flesh, the Devil and his evil spirits.

Cover us with Your Most Precious Blood and bring us all safely home to You in Heaven.

“In the Name of the Father,

and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.”

 

“All you whose craving for affection is unsatisfied, remember that you were made to love that which is ‘eternal,’ not that which ‘passes with time.’”

“Only give grace a chance, and gradually its power will grow stronger in you, for just as evil increases insensibly, once it is given in to, so will each new grace prepare your soul for a still greater one.

If today you listen to My voice and let grace act, tomorrow its influence will be stronger and so steadily increase as time goes on; light will grow in your soul, peace envelop you, and the reward will be ‘eternal bliss.’”

Our Lord Jesus -to- Sr. Josefa Menendez (1923)
