This Diocesan Year of the Eucharist aims to celebrate the Eucharist at the heart of the life and mission of the Church and to gather people back to the Mass and the Sacraments. We are to grow as a Diocese in our love and appreciation of the Eucharist.  We invite you to pray the Diocesan Year of the Eucharist prayer.

Lord Jesus,in your gift of yourself in the Eucharistyou look at me as I look at you.My eyes are deceived,I see bread wrapped round with gold and silver.But this small fragile pieceis more valuable than gold,more precious than all the world.

 

 So easily broken it can mend the world,joining together every human heart.So light an object, it outweighs the greatest treasure,surpassing the mightiest power.

 

Lord Jesus,In your gift of yourself in the EucharistYou receive me as I receive you.My senses are deceivedI taste simple food and drinkBut this little morsel, a tiny sipis the greatest banquet ever eatenIt is you, my God, entering within me.

 

 So quietly it heals a broken lifecuring all humanitySo gently it rescues the feeble sinnerrestoring lost innocence.

 

 Fill me and nourish methat I may drink deep of your strength.Stay with me in my journey through the worldSatisfy me in my hunger for fulfilment.

 

 Touch me with your powerand enter the depths of my beingas I look at you and you look at meas I receive you and you receive me.

 

Blessed be the Holy Eucharistin which Christ’s sacrifice is offeredand the salvation won for all is given to me!
