St. Thomas The Apostle (21 December): My Lord and My God: Longing for the Holy Eucharist

About this sermon

On this Feast Day of Saint Thomas the Apostle, we reflect on the moment that changed history forever—when the Apostle Thomas beheld the Risen Lord and proclaimed with faith-filled certainty: “My Lord and my God.” This meditation draws us into a deeper longing for Holy Communion, inspired by: Saint Thomas the Apostle and his encounter with the risen Christ on Low Sunday Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini, whose burning desire for the Eucharist sustained her during weeks at sea without a priest Saint Thomas Aquinas, through his profound Prayer Before Communion Mother Cabrini’s letters from her voyage from Italy to the United States reveal a soul aching not for comfort, but for Christ Himself—the Bread of Life. Her yearning challenges us to ask: 👉 Do we truly recognize the gift we receive every time we approach the altar? We meditate on the Eucharist as the greatest gift—the Eucharistia, the Good Gift, as taught by the Catechism of the Council of Trent: Infinite Love giving Himself fully to us. May this reflection awaken in us a deeper reverence, gratitude, and hunger for the Bread of Angels, so that we may receive Him with humility, purity, contrition, and faith. ✝️ In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
