In "The Blessed Eucharist," Father Michael Muller describes how Christ's love for us moved Him to create this most beautiful Sacrament. He explains why Our Lord veils Himself in the appearance of bread - a garment so humble He is little known, little loved even neglected and insulted. Fr. Muller helps the reader discover what a treasure the Sacrament is, sharing countless compelling accounts of miracles involving the Eucharist, quotations from Scripture and the Saints reflecting the virtues that can be obtained from Communion worthily received and the consequences of an unworthy reception of Our Lord. He instructs the reader on how to best prepare for receiving the Sacrament, and how to properly offer thanksgiving afterwards. "The Blessed Eucharist" awakens a deeper awareness of the incredible gift that God has given us in His Presence in the Eucharist, allowing us to embrace all the wondrous fruits this Sacrament has to offer.

Note from The Saint's Administrator:

This book is so beautiful! This is such a wonderful work that I recommend it to all who wish to increase their devotion to Our Blessed Lord in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar and who wish to know Him better in the Most Blessed Eucharist! This book made me realize how much lack of devotion there is in myself and in the world towards our Savior as He is in the Eucharist. Fr. Muller really helps us to see Our Lord therein and to increase our love for Him in this Holy Sacrament. We forget how much is in the tiny piece of consecrated Host. We forget that it is Our Lord-Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity-and that it isn't just a piece of bread. Think of what we have, we receive Our Lord Jesus Christ, the real gold, the real food on earth for our souls. The only Article (before the Rosary) that can release souls from Purgatory and Who can give us all that we ask for (as long as it is good for our souls). This Sacrament was the sanctification of the Saints and conversion of many souls.

So, I highly recommend this book!

God bless!

What is a sacrament?
A sacrament is an outward sign of inward grace, instituted by Jesus Christ.

Going to Confession

1. Know your sins.
2. Be sorry for them.
3. Promise Jesus never to sin again.
4. Confess your sins to the priest.
5. Do the penance the priest gives you.

"Bless me Father for I have sinned. It has been (say how long it has been since your last or if it is your first just say, 'this is my first confession') since my last confession and these are my sins:"

Name your sins and number how many times committed.
After you say your sins you say:

"For these and all the sins from my past life, I am heartily sorry."

Then listen to the priest's advice and do the penance he gives you after you leave the confessional box, and if you have any questions and would like some advice, ask the priest.

Then you say the Act of Contrition loud enough for the priest to hear you:

"Oh, my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee; and I detest all my sins because I dread the lost of Heaven and the pains of Hell: but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen."

Jesus Christ gave us the Sacrament of Penance. By confessing our sins, we receive forgiveness and grace from Him.
