April is the Month of the Blessed Sacrament

Why April? It is thought to be due to the Sacred Triduum, the three days immediately preceding Easter, most often falling in April. Even if Easter falls in March, the Easter Season lasts for six weeks. On the first day of the Triduum, Holy Thursday, Christ instituted the Holy Eucharistat the Last Supper. Dedicating April to the Holy Eucharist allows us to focus our hearts and minds on the profound mystery of the Eucharist—the real presence of Jesus Christ, body, blood, soul, and divinity.

Ways to Grow in Devotion to the Holy Eucharist this April

Here are a few ideas to help you dedicate April to the Holy Eucharist in your life and home.

• Prayerfully participate in the Mass, especially during the Liturgy of the Eucharist. The better our disposition and preparation for the Sacraments, the more abundant graces will flow.
• Go to Confession. Remember, we must be in a state of grace to receive our Lord in Holy Communion. And even confessing venial sins can better prepare you for Communion.
• Commit to a weekly time slot at an Adoration Chapel at our church or one nearby. This practice fosters a deep sense of reverence and awe for the Eucharistic mystery and offers time for mental prayer before Our Lord. Perpetual Adoration may be available to accommodate a busy schedule.
