Gracious God of our ancestors, you led Peter Julian Eymard, like Jacob in times past, on a journey of faith. Under the guidance of your gentle Spirit, Peter Julian discovered the gift of love in the Eucharist which your son Jesus offered for the hungers of humanity. Grant that we may celebrate this mystery worthily, adore it profoundly, and proclaim it prophetically for your greater glory. Saint Peter Julian Eymard, Apostle of the Eucharist, pray for us!
“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”
— 1 Corinthians 13:13
“Love is patient, love is kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.”
— 1 Corinthians 13:4-6
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.”
— John 13:34
