75% of Catholics don't believe in the Eucharist. Today Fr Timothy talks to the 25%.

We Catholics have a wonderfully systematized faith, and there's a danger there – it's possible to partake in all the sacraments, and check off all the Catholic “boxes,” while our hearts are not open and receptive to what is being offered there. To receive the grace of the Holy Spirit, we must be vulnerable and open with the Lord, bringing our true selves to Him every time. Reality Himself will only move through what is real, so bring your weak, messy self to prayer and let the Savior save you.

This Easter season, Fr Timothy reflects on what can be the fruits of a well-spent Lent: supernatural peace and joy. These cannot be achieved naturally. The Lord made us to need him, and only by surrendering to him can we access the peace and joy he made us to experience. So what keeps us from surrendering to Him?
