Week Six of our book study on, Our One Great Act of Fidelity discusses the spiritual acts of Eucharist and how we are called to receive and share this gift.
How does Eucharist shape the way we live out our lives each and every day? Do we acknowledge that all we have is indeed a gift from God? How does our understanding of Eucharist shape the way we experience and interact with others in our lives?
This Lent, as we anticipate Easter and the ending of our pandemic, how does this time of waiting help us embrace a deeper commitment to receive God’s love joyfully and to share this joy with others?

- How does sacrificial giving resonate with the spirituality of Eucharist described in this book?
- Do you believe that gratitude is the ultimate virtue for being a saint (page 104)? Why or why not?
