El amor de Dios es tan grande que a través de la sagrada Eucaristía Él nos da el regalo de compartir el Sagrado misterio del Cuerpo y la Sangre de Jesús, como una forma de empezar desde ahora mismo a vivir el gozo de estar en plena Comunión con Él y en Él. San Nicolás Cabasilas afirmó: “En la Eucaristía Dios mismo se une a nosotros de la manera más perfecta, Él vive en nosotros.” Allí estamos en comunión con la Santísima Trinidad, que será lo que experimentaremos para siempre en la vida eterna. Al recibir la sagrada Eucaristía entramos en una Comunión que tiene dos dimensiones: una dimensión vertical en la cual entramos en comunión Trinitaria, pero también una dimensión horizontal en la cual entramos en comunión con nuestros hermanos.Read More -

Communion with Christ and the Church begins with the Domestic Church, the family. The faith that was nurtured in me, as one of nine in a loving, fun and devout Catholic family, has certainly inspired the passion and joy I have as Director of Family Faith at St. Vincent dePaul Parish in Stirling.Read More

spiritual communion prayer
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

POPE FRANCIS' PRAYER FOR PEACE
Lord God of peace, hear our prayer!
We have tried so many times and over so many years to resolve our conflicts by our own powers and by the force of our arms. How many moments of hostility and darkness have we experienced; how much blood has been shed; how many lives have been shattered; how many hopes have been buried… But our efforts have been in vain.
Now, Lord, come to our aid! Grant us peace, teach us peace; guide our steps in the way of peace. Open our eyes and our hearts, and give us the courage to say: "Never again war!"; "With war everything is lost". Instill in our hearts the courage to take concrete steps to achieve peace.
Lord, God of Abraham, God of the Prophets, God of Love, you created us and you call us to live as brothers and sisters. Give us the strength daily to be instruments of peace; enable us to see everyone who crosses our path as our brother or sister. Make us sensitive to the plea of our citizens who entreat us to turn our weapons of war into implements of peace, our trepidation into confident trust, and our quarreling into forgiveness.
Keep alive within us the flame of hope, so that with patience and perseverance we may opt for dialogue and reconciliation. In this way may peace triumph at last, and may the words "division", "hatred" and "war" be banished from the heart of every man and woman. Lord, defuse the violence of our tongues and our hands. Renew our hearts and minds, so that the word which always brings us together will be "brother", and our way of life will always be that of: Shalom, Peace, Salaam!
Amen.
