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. 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
- 2. Examination of conscience
- 3. Act of Contrition
- 4. Spiritual Communion
NIGHT OFFERING
Purpose:
- Thank God for the day;
