Why do you receive the Eucharist?  What do you hope for or expect this sacrament to accomplish in you?

How do we participate in the sacrifice of Jesus in the Eucharist?  What are some practical ways to be intentional about participating in this way?

How does Mary’s life show us how to approach the Eucharist in a biblical way?

How has your understanding and appreciation of the Eucharist grown during this Lent?  Are there any specific resolutions you hope to make regarding your participation in the Mass as a result of this study?

Challenge:  Instead of a question, Fr. Alford challenges us to commit to fully immersing ourselves into Holy Week.  This would include, to the extent possible, attending the Chrism Mass on Tuesday at 6:30 pm, and the Paschal Triduum liturgies.  As an added challenge, I invite you to spend some time in silent adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in the Atrium following the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Thursday evening.  The Atrium will remain open until 11 pm that evening.
