During the Mass, Jesus comes to us in the Sacrament of the Eucharist to nourish us, heal us, and draw us closer to him. The graces we receive from the Eucharist help us follow Christ more perfectly if we are open to them. The good news is these "sacramental graces" remain even after Mass. They help us become Christ to the world.
Cultivate grace. Grace is a share in God's divine life. Being open to Eucharist grace involves spending time with God in the Eucharist. Is there a Eucharistic Adoration Chapel nearby? Does your parish offer First Friday Benediction? Practicing a Eucharistic devotion will make the Mass less like a duty and more like a visit with a Friend.
Take the Eucharist on the road. We take Christ with us when we communicate his love through our actions and words. Grace from the Sacrament inspires us and strengthens us to show Christ-like love to the world. "As I have loved you, so you also should love one another" (John 13:34).
