Fr. Hai’s Corner

Jesus re-affirmed that It is the Lord, who ‘gave them bread

from heaven to eat,’ (PsaJm 78:24); Jesus then went on to de-

clare that ‘I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will nev-

er hunger and whoever believes in me will never thirst.’ Certain-

ly, Jesus challenged the Jews, the apostles, and challenges us

today. Do we believe in the real presence of Jesus in the Eucha-

rist?’ We, Catholics, believe that the Eucharist is "the source and

summit of the Christian life". (Lumen Gentium, no. 11;

cf. Catechism of the Catholic Church, CCC, no. 1324) We be-

lieve that in the Eucharist, the Lord Jesus, transforming himself

into bread, broken for us, pours over us all His mercy and His

love. The Eucharist is the source of Grace. It is also the source

of Growth in Faith, Hope and Charity for us. Have you ever

read this book? “EUCHARISTIC MIRACLES: And Eucharistic

Phenomenon in the lives of the Saints, by Joan Carroll Cruz.

This book along with the bible has helped me in my spiritual

life. Put this book (Eucharist Miracles) into your reading lists.

Let us be like St. Peter who professed: “Lord, to whom shall

we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come

to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the liv-

ing God.” (John 6:68,69).
