As young children celebrate their First Eucharist this spring and as new adult members of our Church approach the reception of Holy Communion with growing appreciation, we can all draw inspiration and seek a deeper understanding of this great gift of God’s love.

I once heard the suggestion that we’ll each be asked two questions at death: How much did you love? Who did you bring with you? Loving and sharing God’s love are clearly what Jesus commands us to do. Receiving Christ’s Body and Blood in Holy Communion is our highest earthly experience of God’s love and unity with his body, the Church. As we are dismissed from Mass, we are commissioned to “Go and announce the Gospel of the Lord.”

The liturgical catechesis of the Gospel Weeklies is a strong and dynamic support for sacramental preparation. The flexibility of the program allows users to use their regular resource (Gospel Weeklies) concurrently with sacramental preparation materials.

In addition to the Gospel Weeklies, Pflaum offers the updated sacramental preparation programs Together in Jesus for First Eucharist (English and Bilingual), First Reconciliation (English and Bilingual), and Confirmation with First Eucharist. Pflaum is also pleased to offer the updated and revised Confirmation program, Gifted with the Spirit for junior high and senior high. Find additional support resources here.

How much did you love?

Who did you bring with you?

How seriously do you take to heart the commission to “announce the Gospel of the Lord”?
