The Spiritual Director, Father Mazzarella, said Daily Mass. When they finished, he opened the Tabernacle door, which contained the Bleeding Host. The Host was in flames, bleeding, and there was a pulsating heart bleeding in the center of the Host. Daniel watched this for about 30 seconds or so, then the Host returned to normal.

For most of us, this doesn’t happen at a typical meal. But this is the kind of meal God wants to share with us. This is the kind of meal he has prepared for us and invites us to participate in through the Sacrament of the Eucharist.

This can be done especially by showing how the Scriptures really do mean what the Church says they do. This session examines objections to the Church’s Eucharistic teaching and provides scriptural answers for them. This apologetic helps us to give a reason for our faith and to gain a deeper insight into our faith

Presence – For Parents: Preparing Your Child for First Holy Communion

The Catechism of the Catholic Church states: “The role of parents in education is of such importance that it is almost impossible to provide an adequate substitute” (CCC 2221). Although the parish helps to form our children in the faith, no one can take the place of the parents’ role in forming holy individuals. In this Bonus Episode of Presence: Mystery of the Eucharist, catechetical experts and practiced parents give practical advice for preparing children for their first Holy Communion. Parents will be inspired to make the Eucharist the source and summit of their family life.
