Eucharist
​First Communion

First Communion Preparation Resource

"The Eucharist although it is the fullness of sacramental life, is not a prize for the perfect but a powerful medicine and nourishment for the weak."

Pope Francis

Eucharist is more than your
body being in a Church,  
It is about receiving, and being,
​the Body of Christ.

Eucharist is special because God brings salvation, forgiveness,  compassion,  love,  mercy, and God’s very self to you.
​
God does all the work. 

However you have a huge role to play!

You need to be open to what God is doing.

​That’s why we call it
“receiving” First Communion--
​not “accomplishing,” “earning,”  “performing,” or “achieving” 
​
First Communion.
