Awaken

Session 11 - The Eucharist

The goal of this session is to ensure participants understand that the Eucharist is not a symbol, it’s really Jesus. And also to awaken in them a desire to receive the Eucharist as a means of deepening their relationship with Jesus. This video also helps prepare participants to experience the power of the Eucharist during adoration a little bit later.
