Eucharist Fed - Spirit Led
Eucharist Fed – Spirit Led,
is all about the Eucharist and the Spiritual aspects of Mystical and the Mystery of the Mass. They are all contained in the Paschal Mystery, which is “The Lambs Supper or “The Last Supper or Holy Eucharist. This comes to us through the ‘Sacrament of Holy Orders ‘ – and the ‘Anointed Hands of Jesus’ Shepherds, our Priests,’ at the Moment of “INSTITUTION” during our Holy Mass, is the Moment that the Holy Spirit ‘Overshadows the Elements of ‘Bread and Wine,’ and they are ‘Transformed’ into Christ’s ‘Body and Blood.’ This is how we become Eucharist Fed – Spirit Led.
This is Jesus’ Promise to us – fulfilled – (Matthew 28:20), ” . . . and behold, I am with you all the days until the completion of the age. Amen.“
Jesus, CHOOSES — to remain HIDDEN — in a tiny Host . . .Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen said, “The greatest love story of all time is contained in a tiny white Host.“

(Luke 22: 19-20) “And He took Bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body being given for you, Do this for My remembrance.” And likewise the cup after supper, saying “This is the New Covenant in My Blood, which is being poured out for you.“
The Eucharist is the "Real Presence" of Jesus Christ in the symbols of 'Bread and Wine.' It comes to us and stays with us through all time (Matthew 28:20),in the small white 'Host'
(John 6:27)
“Do not search for the food which perishes but for the food that endures to everlasting life, which the Son of man will give to you; for God the Father sealed this one.“
(From the Greek – Hebrew – English Bible)
This ‘Message was received Before my morning prayer; 3/17/20 — “Holy Communion – Received in Prayerful Reverence –with full Knowledge of “WHO” we are Receiving – ‘Jesus Christ – Our Lord and Savior’ – IS – “Union with God!“‘
Upon entering my morning prayer that morning, I prayed these words in my heart; ” I wish to receive you with the purity, humility, and devotion with which Your Holy Mother received You — and with the Fervor (intense and passionate feeling) – of the saints.”
Our Journey to Jesus begins with one single step …Our step … ‘into God’s Time …’ We do this by –Receiving The ‘Grace’ that God The Father desires to give each and every one of His Children . . . This means you and me . . .
The First ‘Grace’ that we receive is the desire to find and follow Jesus. The Holy Spirit ‘showers us with this Grace . . .’But WE . . . must accept it . . . to receive it. He is waiting for you . .
Once we find Jesus … The Power of the Holy Spirit Overshadows us … and fills us … with Gods Unconditional Love.
It ALL Begins with GRACE
What is Grace?
Grace is a ‘Gift from God’ that comes to us ‘moment by moment.’ “It cannot be ‘Stockpiled.’ We cannot build up reserves of Grace. We receive it moment by moment, as part of that ‘daily bread’ that we pray for in the Our Father.” excerpts from the book ‘Interior Freedom,’ by Rev. Jacques Philippe.
Think quietly about Grace of about fifteen seconds.
Grace ‘prepares us to meet Jesus.’ It gives us the ability to ‘Come to Him with a Clean Heart.’
We need to prepare ourselves to be a proper Vessel for Him.
Grace helps us to achieve Eternal Life!
God’s Grace . . . invites us to want Eternal Life. Which we can reach through giving ourselves to Jesus — by being ‘Baptized in The name of The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.’
Baptism, is the act that washes away one’s sins . . and allows one to become a Child of God!
Some of God’s Graces are . . .
Actual Grace —- Sanctifying Grace —- Sacramental Grace
Actual Grace — Allows us to be Forgiven. It is a ‘Force’ that comes from the “Outside of us –to PROMPT us — (kind of like an antibiotic)
Sanctifying Grace —- Stays in the Soul.
It is what makes the soul holy.
It gives the soul Supernatural Life!
More properly — it ‘IS’ Supernatural Life! (like the blood in our body — always there — feeding us).
Sacramental Grace —- is received through the reception of the different Sacraments of the Church (like Baptism, Confirmation, Communion, Reconciliation etc.).
How do we receive this Grace?
‘Prayer — Practicing Virtues — Receiving the Seven Sacraments.’
(from the book – The Healing Power of the Holy Eucharist).
Frequent reception of the Sacraments of Reconciliation — Holy Communion — and — Anointing of the Sick, are excellent ways to receive Sacramental Grace.
Baptism and Confirmation are a ONE TIME Sacrament with ‘Special Graces Received.’
Marriage and Holy Orders are Sacraments of Service — to Christ’s Church.
The Sacraments – are ‘SEVEN’ Gifts — from the Cross of Jesus.
They FLOW’ — FROM the Cross — with ‘His Life Giving Blood!’
Then they BECOME the ‘PATH’S — of Grace for us to follow.’
Jesus died to leave us with The Seven Sacraments from the Cross.
The Sacraments
Do we understand the wonderful Gift that we have been given in the Sacraments?
Look at them . . . Think about each one that you are able to participate FULLY in . . . and then look at your heart . . . and honestly answer how often you Go to Jesus to receive these ‘Gifts of God’s Grace.’
Believe — that Jesus died to give them to you . . . to help you with your Journey . . . to your Salvation.
Remember . . . ALL of the Sacraments FLOW from the Cross of Jesus . . .
"Come, follow Me . . ."
Jesus said many times in Scripture, “Come, follow Me . . .” He wants to lead us to the Father . . . and He gave us the ‘Narrow Path‘ –through the ‘Trail of God’s Tears. ‘
God cried for us from the beginning of time. His final ‘Covenant with humanity‘ . . . Is accomplished through . . . Jesus . . . His Beloved Son . . . Whom The Father sends through The ‘Trail of Tears.’
I saw this Image during the deepest part of my Prayer . . . “a single ‘Eye.” I have seen it often during my prayer. It usually fades after a short time . . . but this time was different. “I saw some movement under the eye . . . there was an aera that was filling . . . like a tear. The ‘Tear . . . got bigger and grew . . .I saw movement within the tear itself. I could tell it was a person – walking . . . and each step that was taken – the tear followed. I could see that it was Jesus. Each step that He took — created the ‘Trail of God’s Tears.‘
On Holy Saturday morning I wrote this after meditating on the Image, ” God, Our Father – sends His Son Jesus with a tear – into our world, to save us from our own sinful ways and blindness. As Jesus willingly makes each step towards us . . . He ‘Forms the Path,’ back to Our Father . . . the narrow path,’ that we must follow to our home with the Father.“‘
Jesus was ‘sent Forth’ on Holy Thursday to fulfill the ‘Last Covenant’ from the Father – Creator — with mankind! The ‘Tears’ – are all about God’s love for us! God the Father shed them for His Love of us . . . and sends His only Son Jesus – as ‘atonement’ for ‘Original sin.’ Jesus sheds tears for us because of His Great love for all mankind. This kind of love is beyond our comprehension. Jesus was “Jubilant’ on Palm Sunday – because of the coming fulfillment of the Father;s Will. From the beginning of time . . . The Holy Spirit delivered . . . and still delivers – God’s great Love to mankind. This is what ‘Eucharist Fed – Spirit Led ‘ is all about.
God – being a Spirit, has no limitations. He can be everywhere — at the same time. God is without limits of ‘time or space.’ He will do anything that we ask in Jesus’ name – ‘If’ – we have come to Jesus with the ‘Surrender of our weakness and sins.’ When we call upon Jesus, He sends His own Spirit, to guide our path onto the ‘Trail of God’s Tears,’ to Our Father.Once again, This is ‘Eucharist Fed – Spirit Led’ through the ‘Trail of God’s Tears.’
‘Trail of God’s Tears.’
I am not much of an Artist – but this is what I saw – as near as I can draw it.

When we follow Jesus to the Cross - we can see how He lived the Beatitudes. We need to learn to live them in our lives to be able to walk the 'Trail of Tears" back to the Father.
Our Journey to the Father, through the leading and the stirring of the Holy Spirit, are the completion of the phrase , ‘Eucharist Fed -Spirit Led.’ Through the Power of the Holy Spirit – God ‘Showers us with ‘Grace’ to receive His Blessings, and The Spiritual Gifts that can Transform our lives from ‘Sinner – to – Saint. We are given our lifetime to discover this path back to the Father. It will be through the Sacraments of the Church that we come to Reconciliation and receive the Grace to come to Receive Forgiveness from Jesus that will lead to acceptance by our Father.
‘Eucharist Fed – Spirit Led.’
is a Goal that we begin in our lives by accepting Jesus as Our Lord and Savior, then. come to Him in the simplicity of your heart, and ask forgiveness for our sins and weaknesses. and the Spirit helps us with all of this. The Spirit is the Action of the Trinity.
I have written a Spiritual Book called “Christ in our Midst.’ It is a book about The God given ‘Fruits, Gifts and Charisms of the Holy Spirit.’ There is a section in the Book about he Isaiah Spiritual Gift of Piety that you can get a lot of information about Prayer. And also a section about the Spiritual Gifts called ‘Charisms’ in which there is more about Prayer.
‘Christ in our Midst’‘ is a book that is nondenominational. It has Scriptural backing with many references. While writing this book I was led by the Holy Spirit completely. Praise God.
