Eucharistic Day is a day lived by a Eucharistic youth in which Jesus is the Sun, the center of the day.
ULTIMATE GOAL: Everyone is called to be holy. As such, a Eucharistic youth's ultimate goal is sainthood. To be holy is: (1) to be separated - In the world but not belonging to the world; (2) to be a Christian - Have Christ, belong to Christ, becoming like Christ; and (3) to be consecrated - Offer our life to do the will of God.
SPIRITUALITY: The Eucharistic Youth Movement's spirituality is Living the Eucharistic Day, which is to live in close union with God, especially with Jesus in the Eucharist, the center of our life. Living the Eucharistic Day is important to VEYM's members because it help the members becoming holier each day.
There are 3 main parts of the Eucharistic Day, often called "Three Moments of the Day":
- 1. The Beginning - Begin your day with a MORNING OFFERING, as Jesus is the Sunrise.
- 2. The Summit - Attend (or be in communion with) the HOLY MASS and receive the HOLY COMMUNION. This portion is the summit or zenith of the day, as Jesus is the sun at noon: the center of life.
