Eucharist the Bread of the Strong

The first communities were sustained through the Eucharist, therefore, they were Christians filled with strength and courage. With faith and devotion they participated in the Eucharistic celebration knowing that they would go to receive the Lord.

In these last times, the Lord wants to revive our faith, because we need, more than ever, the Eucharist. We live in a pagan world, as in that early time, surrounded by a totally pagan morality, far from God. For us to maintain ourselves as Christians filled with faith that live the Gospel and that march against the current, we need the Most Blessed Sacrament.

To be Christian today is to be a martyr, even if we do not shed blood, nor die for Jesus. In this world completely against the Word of God, we are reviving the faith of the Martyrs: The strength of the first Christians. It is therefore that Christ wants to strengthen us with the “Bread of the Strong” as the bread of the martyrs the bread of the first Christians: The Eucharist.

Reaffirm now your faith: Lord, pardon all my sins, and those sins of all humanity. Give us the grace of conversion and change of life. Give us Your Holy Spirit in order that our life may be transformed. Put in us the repentance of our sins. Give us perfect contrition. I am a sinner, but I say: “My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love you. I ask your pardon for all those that do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love you.” Thank you because you are present in the Eucharist, and from there you faise Your supplication to the Father. Thank you because you put in our heart ardent love for Your true presence in the Most Blessed Sacrament. Amen.
