Back in the days not too long ago, when I roamed as a Catholic photojournalist, my lens captured more than just images. It captured the curious behaviors of the faithful as they approached the altar to receive the holy Eucharist. Some were fervent and eager, while others seemed disinterested. It sparked a thought in my mind - if instead of the bread and wine, they were handed a crisp hundred-dollar bill, would their enthusiasm be greater?
But now, a new invitation has been extended to all American Catholics - a National Eucharistic Revival. A much-needed call to reignite our understanding and reverence for the sacred Host. And as Catholic men, bearing the banner of CMCS, we must answer this summons with zeal.
For truly, the Eucharist is the very essence of our faith, the pinnacle of our worship. It is the source of our strength and the summit of our devotion. Let us lead the charge in responding to this call, and in doing so, bring a renewed fervor to the hearts of all Catholics.
Unleash the transformative power of the Eucharist, for it is the wellspring from which the Christian life flows. From the depths of our souls, it nourishes and empowers us to conquer all obstacles. This dynamic force pulsates throughout every aspect of our being, infusing us with unwavering determination to fulfill our calling.
