April: Month of the Holy Eucharist
April is traditionally dedicated to the Holy Eucharist. As we continue the season of Easter, let us focus our hearts and minds on the profound mystery of the Eucharist—the real presence of Jesus Christ, body, blood, soul, and divinity. Ways to grow in devotion to the Holy Eucharist:
- Prayerfully participate in the Mass, especially during the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
- Go to Confession.
- Visit an Eucharistic Adoration Chapel.
- Go to a weekday Mass.
- Take time after Mass to pray in gratitude for the Holy Eucharist (the word Eucharist means thanksgiving).
- Pray a spiritual communion often throughout the day.
The Memorare
REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
