This is a Bonus Episode: Good Conversation, Lots of Laughter, Intimate sharing and yes...singing!

"He is truly present—Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity."

In this intimate and heartfelt episode, I sit down with a dear friend Anika Johnson to talk about the heart of our faith: Jesus in the Eucharist. Together, we explore how the Real Presence of Christ has captivated our hearts. Through stories, laughter and honest conversation, Anika and I delve into personal experiences of encountering Christ in the Blessed Sacrament, the beauty of The Mystical Body of Christ (community) and the life-giving power of this sacred mystery.

Anika shares a bit of her conversion story and how becoming Catholic started through an encounter of Jesus in the Eucharist.

We reflect on the Eucharist not only as a sacred mystery but also as the Pilgrim’s Diet—spiritual sustenance for those walking the road of faith—and the call to not only receive this gift, but to share it with the world, "Because Jesus is too much to keep for ourselves".

✨ Key Takeaways

• The Eucharist is central to the Catholic faith and sustains believers on their spiritual journey.
• Personal encounters with Jesus in the Eucharist can lead to deep transformation.
• Community is essential in nurturing faith and supporting one another on the pilgrimage.
• The Pilgrim’s Diet metaphor reminds us that the Eucharist is the soul’s true nourishment.
• Adoration and reception of the Eucharist foster intimate relationship with Christ.
• The Eucharist brings peace and healing, especially in times of trial.
• Recognizing Jesus’ Real Presence changes how we live and worship.
• The Eucharist is not just for us—it’s a mission to the world.

Closing Encouragement: Remember, Pilgrims — we are not alone. Jesus has given us His very self as our bread of life, food for our journey. In Him contains all Sweetness- all that we desire, all that we need is in Him. He is our very sustenance.

✨ Let’s be intentional on this earthly pilgrimage to heaven.
