Promoting Bellef In, and Reverence For, the Holy Eucharist

Become What We Receive

“The Eucharist is not a private devotion; it is a transformation. We become what we receive. Saint Augustine put it beautifully when he said that in the Eucharist, we hear Christ’s voice saying to us: ‘Become what you receive’. If we receive the Body of Christ then, we must become the Body of Christ for the world. And that means living as He lived – humbly, selflessly and with love that does not count the cost.”

(Father Richard D Breton from the October 16th 2025 issue of the Wanderer, entitled learning Humility from the Eucharist)
