THE MEAL THAT SHOUTS THE GOOD NEWS



"Every time, then, you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the

death of the Lord until He comes!" —1 Corinthians 11:26



You may not be a good speaker, but you can spend your life evangelizing

and proclaiming the faith. You may be shy and find it hard to approach

people with the message of salvation. You may not have led anyone to Jesus

for years. Nevertheless, God has still provided a way for you to loudly

proclaim that Jesus died for the sins of the world.



By eating the eucharistic body of Jesus at Mass, Scripture declares you

are proclaiming to the world that Jesus Christ came to earth to take upon

His shoulders our sins (1 Cor 11:26). By drinking of the cup of the

precious blood of Jesus, you in effect shout from the rooftops (Mt 10:27)

that Jesus is coming again in glory (1 Cor 11:26).



We live in a hurting world that desperately needs to hear the good news of

Jesus over and over again. Let your message go out to the ends of the

earth (Ps 19:5; Acts 1:8) by receiving the eucharistic Jesus daily, or as

often as possible. Jesus commands: "Do this...in remembrance of Me" (1 Cor

11:25).





Prayer: Father, use me to bring many thousands of fallen-away Catholics

back to Jesus, back to a regular sacramental life in the Church, and

forward to a life of mature discipleship.



Promise: "If I washed your feet — I Who am Teacher and Lord — then you

must wash each other's feet. What I just did was to give you an example:

as I have done, so you must do." —Jn 13:14-15



Praise: Praise the Eucharistic Jesus, Who humbled Himself to be food for

our souls.
