Reflection
By: Anabelle Balla
Today, I reflected on what it truly means to believe in Jesus—not just believing in His promises but believing in who He is.
As I searched my heart, I realized that my faith is not driven by fear or reward, but by a deep desire to stay close to Him, to worship Him, and to remain in His presence.
For me, attending Mass and receiving the Holy Eucharist is a personal declaration of my love for Jesus—an act of gratitude and praise for His precious gift of His body and blood given for us.
This realization brings me peace and joy. This is my reason, and I am grateful to understand it more clearly.
May the Solemnity of Body and Blood of Christ bring us closer Him.
Prayer
Anima Christi
Soul of Christ sanctify me
Body of Christ save me
Water from the side of Christ wash me
Passion of Christ give me strength
Hear me Jesus
Hide me in Thy wounds that I may never leave Thy side
From all the evil that surrounds me, defend me
And when the call of death arrives
Bid me come to Thee that I may praise Thee with Thy saints
Forever
Hear me Jesus
Hide me in Thy wounds that I may never leave Thy side
From all the evil that surrounds me, defend me
And when the call of death arrives
Bid me come to Thee that I may praise Thee with Thy saints
Forever
