In Holy Communion, we receive Jesus Christ, who gives himself to us in His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. This intimate union with Christ signifies and strengthens our union with Him and His Body, the Church. Here are helpful reminders as you prepare to receive.

Hope is amazing. It gives us the power to keep going, even in the greatest struggles and trials. When hope burns within us, we find strength and purpose to carry on, no matter what we face. The one who has hope lives differently. But what are the reasons for our hope? What truths do we hold onto that give us strength and purpose in our struggles?
