Summary

This week we return to our series on the Mass. Join us as we discuss Holy Communion, and pray for all those receiving their First Holy Communion this Spring. Let's discuss the FACT that Jesus is fully present in the Eucharist, that the Eucharist is the source and the summit of our Faith, and the state we need to be in to receive Holy Eucharist when we attend Mass. Finally, what are we called to do AFTER we receive Holy Communion?

April is a GREAT time to learn and pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet. Download this FREE booklet to learn the prayer and add it to your family's prayer. https://catholicsprouts.com/mercy/

0:00.0	You're listening to Catholic Sprouts, the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith.
0:24.1	Hey there, Sprouts. Today is Thursday, April 20th, 20th, 2003.
0:29.0	This week we are talking about Holy Communion, a super important part of Mass.
0:33.9	But before we start in on that, please join me in praying the conclusion to the
0:38.9	divine mercy chaplet. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, amen.
0:45.2	Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless in the treasury of compassion and exausible, look kindly upon
0:53.2	us and increase your mercy in us, that in difficult
0:57.0	moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence, submit ourselves
1:04.1	to your holy will, which is love and mercy itself. Amen. So yesterday we began the conversation on Holy Communion and just how
1:16.7	remarkable it is that we have a God that desires to be so close to us and to heal this brokenness
1:24.3	and restlessness and hunger inside of us so deeply that he has become bread
1:29.6	and wine for us each and every time we attend sacred Mass. Now let's dive a little bit
1:36.6	deeper into this today. We believe as Catholics that after the Eucharistic prayer has been said, God works through the priest,
1:49.4	an ordinary bread and wine becomes Jesus Christ, his body, his blood, his soul, and his
2:00.4	divinity. In fact, Catholic teaching shares that even the smallest
2:06.7	speck, crumb of consecrated bread, even the smallest drop of the wine after it has been
2:15.4	consecrated, contains all of Jesus Christ.
2:21.1	Perhaps you've noticed this at Mass when everyone has received Holy Communion,
2:27.3	the priest will go up on the altar and carefully clean the vessels,
2:32.9	the chalice, the suborium. And he does this because he recognizes that even these
2:39.2	tiny fragments, tiny drips left behind are truly Jesus Christ. So I want you to pause and realize that
2:49.5	this is a big, crazy claim.
