Series Overview

The Eucharist gathers us where the world divides. Christ’s presence heals our divisions, unmasks the idols that enslave us, and gives us the freedom to bring God’s love to the world.

Today’s Topic

The Eucharist is the Church’s great act of thanksgiving, revealing how praise arises from recognizing all of life as gift. Moving through biblical, theological, and anthropological insights, we will see that genuine gratitude flows not from obligation but from delight in God’s grace. In the Eucharist, Christ enables us to offer true thanksgiving, shaping a worldview in which we see reality as gift, grow in generosity, and glorify God through grateful living.
