Every week, we gather here at Mass and take part in an astounding miracle: the miracle of God giving us his very self in the Eucharist. However, it can be difficult to wrap our minds around this fact and fully appreciate this gift. This week’s FORMED Pick of the Week is a beautiful three-part video series that explores the mystery of God’s love for us expressed in the Eucharist. It will leave you with a true

understanding and love for the Mass we have just celebrated.

Listen at saintmichael.formed.org

St. Michael Catholic Community is pleased to offer its parishioners

free access to FORMED, a revolutionary online platform for Catholic

faith formation resources — including movies, documentaries,
