33 DAYS to EUCHARISTIC GLORY A Spiritual Pilgrimage At critical times throughout Salvation History, God's people have been invited to consecrate themselves. We are at one of those critical times in history, and consecrating ourselves, our families, our country, and indeed, the whole world to the Eucharist may make all the difference. 33 Days to Eucharistic Glory is the first ever Eucharistic Consecration. This unprecedented spiritual resource presents profound truths, astonishing historical facts, powerful practical examples, a daily virtue to adopt, extraordinary prayers, and inspiring stories-all in an easy-to-follow daily format. Life is a pilgrimage. It is a sacred journey toward our eternal home with God. Learn what it means to be a pilgrim in a world that is constantly trying to reduce you to a tourist and consumer. Journey with Mother Teresa, John Paul II, Thérèse of Lisieux, Maximilian Kolbe, Thomas Aquinas, Sister Faustina, the Children of Fatima, and Mary the Mother of God to experience Jesus in the Eucharist like never before. Prepare yourself for an explosion of grace in your life. Grace is the assistance God gives us to do what is good, true, noble, and right. And there is no better way to receive God's grace than through the Eucharist. Over the next thirty-three days you will learn how these great saints and others lived in Eucharistic Glory. This extraordinary spiritual guide will forever change the way you spend time with Jesus in the Eucharist. THIS CONSECRATION IS AN INVITATION to dedicate yourself to God and make yourself 100 percent available to carry out His will on this earth. It is an act of unconditional surrender to Jesus in the Eucharist, an opportunity to set aside our distractions and selfishness, dedicate ourselves abundantly, wholeheartedly, and completely to the will of God, and promise to faithfully respond to God's grace in our life. In the Book of Exodus, after the incident with the golden calf, Moses realized that the people had lost their way, and so he called them together and said: "Consecrate yourselves today to the Lord . . . that He may bestow upon you a blessing this day." In the First Book of Chronicles, after God chose his son Solomon to lead, David gave everything he had over to God and the people of Israel. And then he asked: "Who else among you will contribute generously and consecrate themselves to the Lord this day?" In the Book of Joshua, God's chosen people entered the Promised Land after wandering in the desert for forty years. Joshua asked the priests to carry the Ark of the Covenant before the people and said: "Consecrate yourselves to the Lord, for tomorrow He will do wonders among you." For the Jewish people, the Ark of the Covenant was God's dwelling place on earth, God's presence among them. The Eucharist is God dwelling among us today. And so, today I say to you, with Moses, David, and Joshua . . . "Consecrate yourself today to the Lord . . . that He may bestow upon you a blessing this day." 33 Days to Eucharistic Glory is the first guide to Eucharistic Consecration. Catholics have consecrated themselves to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, to Saint Joseph, Saint Raphael, Saint Michael the Archangel, Saint Anne, the Holy Spirit, the Miraculous Medal, Our Lady of Guadalupe, the Mediatrix of All Grace, Our Lady of Fatima, Our Lady of Lourdes, Our Lady of Czestochowa, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Our Lady of Sorrows, and to the Holy Trinity. I believe it is time we consecrated ourselves to Jesus in the Eucharist-it is time for a Eucharistic Consecration.
