20TH SUNDAY OF THE YEAR (B)
The Holy Eucharist is the highest gift God has given us. No gift on earth is greater than the Holy Eucharist, because the Holy Eucharist is Christ Himself, says the Archbishop, Most Rev. Valerian Okeke. He admonished us never to joke with the Holy Eucharist, but to follow Christ with faith in the Holy Eucharist, that there is nothing impossible for God. If you come to Christ with faith in the Holy Eucharist, you will be witnessing the miracle and the glory of God in your life. He prays for all of us, that God may watch over us in this journey of life: the journey of faith.
