Heavenly Father, we thank you for the gift of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ,
who promised to stay with us always, until the end of the age.
Reawaken our wonder at His presence in the Most Holy Eucharist.
May our hearts burn within us as He opens the Scriptures and breaks the bread.
Give us the eyes of faith to recognize His presence in our brothers and sisters,
especially in the face of the poor and the suffering.
Nourished by the Eucharist, send us forth to walk faithfully as missionary disciples,
proclaiming the Gospel to every heart and extending Your kingdom to every land.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
