Jeremiah 30:1-2, 12-15, 18-22; Ps 102; Matthew 14:22-36

Your Eucharistic Kingdom Come

The heading of this reflection is the motto of the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament. Peter Julian Eymard was a member of the Society of Mary for 14 years before founding the Blessed Sacrament Fathers. It is our prayer and pastoral activity that promotes God’s Kingdom. The Lord’s words to the disciples “Do not be afraid” (or a close equivalent) occurs 365 times in the Bible. A daily encouragement and support for us; Jesus is never far away when his followers seem threatened.
