A message from Archbishop Hartmayer
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Peace and all good things! Our most basic mission in life is to become more like Jesus. I chose the theme of this year’s annual appeal to invite you to make a spiritual resolution to seek this transformation in your life through a renewed understanding of and devotion to Christ’s real Presence in the Eucharist.
The words of Pope Saint John Paul II remind us that: “If we are to experience the Eucharist as the ‘source and summit of all Christian life,’ then we must celebrate it with faith, receive it with reverence and allow it to transform our minds and hearts through the prayer of adoration. Only by deepening our Eucharistic communion with the Lord through personal prayer can we discover what He asks of us in daily life.” This transformation is witnessed in our actions as we love like He did and do His will, serving others.
