“Do this in memory of me”
In my busy week, what place does the Eucharist have? Do I go? Do I sleep in? Or does something else come first?
💭 Is it really the most important appointment of my week?
At every Mass, Jesus gives Himself to us.
🍞 He is our Bread of Life.
❤️ He nourishes us.
🤝 He brings us together.
🔥 He sends us out.
And He asks us to do this in memory of Him.
The Eucharist is not just a ritual. It is an encounter that changes lives.
But receiving Jesus also means welcoming those around us. Faith is never meant to be lived alone: we walk together as a community, just as Jesus did with His disciples and as the first Christians did.
✨ Do I know my parish community?
✨ Do I share my faith and my gifts with others?
✨ Do I bring the joy I receive from Jesus into the world around me?
🌍 From the altar to everyday life, from communion to mission, let us be witnesses of hope.

✨ On May 29, Cate, from the Italy Province, said her definitive Yes to the Lord.
📍 The celebration took place in her hometown of Bologna.
🌍 To symbolize the lands we came from, as well as those Cate has walked throughout her life and mission, we brought a little soil from each place.
🤲 A simple yet meaningful gesture, reminding us that wherever we are, the Lord says to us:
💬 “Sei qui! E questo mi basta”
“You are here! And that is enough for me.”
❤️ As expressed: “Dio resta e a chi in Lui confida nulla mancherà”
“God is always there, and those who place their trust in Him will lack nothing.”
🙏 May Cate always know that the Lord walks with her and accompanies her every moment of her life!
