Holy Eucharist & The Year of Faith The Holy Eucharist is the Bread in which Jesus Christ; the Savior of mankind is lying in the bread. Holy Eucharist is a big part of everyone who follows Jesus’s life. Every Sunday we must receive the Holy Eucharist in our body. This makes us become pure through out our lives and gets you one step closer to heaven. People think that the Holy Eucharist is just a white peace of bread, but in reality it is much bigger than that. The bread contains of all the sorrows and pain Jesus Christ went through and he wants to share that with the holy people. To me Holy Eucharist is a symbol of faith, which represents Jesus Christ dying on the cross. After I receive the Holy Eucharist, I go back to were I sit and kneel down and pray for forgiveness of all my sins and pray for a solution to my sorrows. After I do these entire things, my sorrows and pain never go way. I keep praying, but the more I pray the more pain and sorrow adds on. This removes my faith a little in Jesus sometimes and I say to myself that there is no God in this world. Then, again after sometimes I start praying and I get relieved a bit but I don’t have that complete faith in Jesus. A retreat always helps me be hundred percent faithful in god but after sometime I loose it and I become lazy. The year of faith is a year when all Catholics turn towards Jesus Christ, and encounter him in the Sacraments, especially the Eucharist and rediscover Faith and Church. During the Year of Faith, Catholics are asked to study and reflect on the documents of Vatican II and the catechism so that they may deepen their knowledge of the faith. This is an opportunity for Catholics to experience conversion and get in a deeper relationship with Jesus. This year the Year of Faith will be celebrated between October 11,2012 and November 24,2012. October 11, the first day of the Year of Faith
