Today in the podcast, Father Peter Armenio, a priest of Opus Day, explains what it means to put on

the face of Jesus, and why having an intimate connection with Jesus' Eucharistic sacrifice is

essential for evangelization.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

My Lord and my God, I firmly believe that you are here,

that you see me, that you hear me. I adore you with profound reverence. I ask your pardon

for my sins and the grace to make this time of prayer fruitful. My Immaculate Mother St. Joseph, my Father and Lord,

my guardian angel, and deceitful.

We've been praying about St. Paul's admonition put on Jesus Christ, a key phrase in early Christianity that needs very

much to be reinstated. That's what it means to put on the face of Jesus.

And an essential way of doing that is to have an intimate connection

with Jesus' Eucharistic sacrifice.

We contemplate Jesus' true presence.

The tabernacle also is a wonderful instruction

in the teachings of Jesus.

We see Jesus' true presence.

And what is our vocation, but that he be fully present in his followers?

Isn't that what St. Paul said about himself? That it is no longer I that live, but Christ

who lives in me.

That's the goal of all of us.
