The Eucharist brings us the Father’s faithful love, which heals our sense of being orphans. It gives us Jesus’ love, which transformed a tomb from an end to a beginning, and in the same way can transform our lives. It fills our hearts with the consoling love of the Holy Spirit, who never leaves us alone and always heals our wounds.
Pope Francis
As Catholics prepare for their First Holy Communion, they learn that the Eucharist is truly the Body and Blood of Jesus. The Church encourages the frequent reception of Holy Communion, but Catholics should prepare themselves for the sacrament by regular confession and by fasting for one hour before receiving Communion.
St. Luke also offers the opportunity for Eucharistic Adoration on the First Friday of every month from September to June from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
