"The Eucharist is Divine Power", Sister Maria Tuyen Bui, LHC
As a religious sister of the Lord, for me, the Holy Sacrament is the place I go back to. Jesus in the Eucharist is my captain. Why do I say this? Those living the Consecrated lives are not much different from others. Around me, there are always difficulties, challenges, and all that are very normal for every individual. I look to the Eucharist to bring different meanings together in each situation. I believe that in the Eucharistic Jesus and with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, I see myself with my gifts, my weaknesses, and even my sins. So in the Lord, I know I am worthy, and with His help, I become better each day. I feel that in the challenges, pitfalls, and difficulties of life, I have God as a guide and companion. In successes, I rejoice with humility, knowing that all I have is a gift from God. Similarly, in times when I am lost and helpless, coming to the Presence of the Lord in the Eucharist, I feel protected. For God is my captain, He knows where the shadows, the waves, and the storms are, and He will direct me safely through it all.
Thus the most important reason that I want to come to the Eucharistic Jesus every day is because God lets me know that He is always here with me in all circumstances of my life. So that before God, I may realize that I am a person of God, that I am loved by God, and that I bring God's love and proclaim the Good News to everyone.”
