S04 E09: In Communion

In today’s episode, Sr. Orianne Pietra René and Sr. Julie Benedicta are joined by Sr. Allison Regina in a conversation about God’s gift of his love in Communion. Join them as they share their reflections on John 6:56, in which Jesus says, “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.” They’ll discuss their Eucharistic spirituality and devotion, and what it means to have Jesus really present to us in this sacramental way. Share your own reflections with us and keep the conversation going!
