Living the Eucharistic Day

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:

• To be separated - In the world but not belonging to the world
• To be a Christian - Have Christ, belong to Christ, becoming like Christ
• To be consecrated - Offer our life to do the will of God.
  

SPIRITUALITY: The EYM 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 EYM's members because it help the members becoming holier each day.

LIVING the EUCHARISTIC 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.

3. The Ending - Do the spiritual bouquet and end with a NIGHT OFFERING. At sunset, let Jesus in the Eucharist sets in our heart.

Beside the above main "three moments of the day", the hours of the Eucharistic Day are marked with prayer, spiritual communion, sacrifice, apostolic works, rosary, etc.

HOLY MASS & HOLY COMMUNION

The purpose of living the Eucharistic Day is to live a day in the graces of God. During the Eucharistic Day, we progress to sainthood through the practice of the '''Spiritual Bouquet'''.

A Eucharistic Day is a day one lives in close union with God, especially with Jesus in the Holy Eucharist, the center (the sun) of Christian life. Therefore, the peak of the Eucharist Day is the Holy Mass and the Holy Communion. If attending daily (weekday) Mass is not possible, be in communion with the Holy Mass through midday prayers:

1. Angelus prayer
