"Jesus comes alongside you each Sunday in the celebration of the Eucharist. He asks you what is on your heart as you prepare for the Eucharistic Celebration. Talk to Jesus about what is making you joyful or sad. He asks you: "What is happening within you?" Tell Jesus everything. What do you need? What do you wish you had? What do you feel you have lost? Where do you need His help? In what aspect of your life do you wish you could see God's presence more clearly?...
We can try to figure out our own way through life's more difficult moments, but Jesus wants to walk alongside us and help us find in those broken places meaning and hope. In the Mass, through Jesus' presence in both Word and Sacrament, He fulfills His desire and His promise to be with us, each of us, always."
