St. Paternus
Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever" (John 6: 53-58).
Jesus, I believe that you are truly present in the Eucharist. It is hard sometimes but I truly believe with all my heart and with all my soul. Help me to always believe in you and show you that I believe by always making it to Sunday Mass.
My Lord and Savior, I praise you for your generosity to give us yourself in the Eucharist. With you I can do all things.
