“Those who receive the Body and Blood of Christ with faith not only 'eat', but are 'satisfied'. To eat and to be satisfied: these are two basic necessities that are satisfied in the Eucharist.” - Pope Francis How are you allowing Christ to satisfy you? #focuscatholic #seek24

If you don’t pray at all, then pray for 5 mins today. If you don’t go to Sunday Mass, go this Sunday. Pray the Rosary and if you’ve never prayed it, that’s okay, just start. Take little steps each day at furthering your relationship with God the Father.

Although many of us can't receive Jesus sacramentally at this time, we can still make an act of spiritual communion every day. Saints often did this when they couldn’t receive the Eucharist at Mass, and doing so was an essential part of life for them in drawing closer to God.

Be still. It's super tempting, but don’t try to understand or figure out why the state of the world is what it is. Just feel it. Let the storm be. Go to prayer, and meditate and be still. Sit there and let Jesus come find you and comfort you.

A saint is not perfect or sinless. A saint is a sinner who keeps on trying. It’s not the number of falls that matter, but the number of times we get back up that counts. Saints are not perfect but perfected by their relationship with Jesus Christ.
