Jer 38:4-6, 8-10; Ps 40:2-4, 18; Heb 12:1-4 teaches, is “the source and summit of the Christian Life.” Lk 12: 49-53 The Eucharist is the gift of deepest communion with the Mon. Jgs 2:11-19; Ps 106:34-37, 39-40, 43ab, 44; Lord available to us, and our greatest connection to the Mt 19:16-22 Church. Here are some effects of receiving Holy Tues.

The graces of baptism are preserved, increased, and Lk 13:22-30 renewed in us when we receive the Eucharist (cf. CCC, 1392).
