Today I will be talking all about the Eucharist and why you believe what we believe about the Eucharist, even though we can’t fully understand it.

At the end of this episode, I encourage you to go to Eucharistic adoration at least one day this week if possible, because I also talk about the importance of spending time in front of Jesus in the Eucharist.

Here are some videos with Father Mike Schmitz that go a little more in depth on some of the things talked about today.

Jesus became human. He struggled with human temptation. He had human weaknesses, but it’s hard for us to relate to him because he was sinless. The good news for us is there are people who were extremely sinful in their lifetime and struggled with some of the same things you may struggle with. They are the Saints, and they are here to encourage us and be our friends today. I will talk about how you can get closer to Saint and allow them to be your friend.

Sidenote: Some of this stuff works if you’re trying to get closer to your guardian angel.
