When thinking of Saint John Henry Newman, many associations come to mind: scholar, writer, intellectual. But rarely do we associate “mystic” with this new saint. And yet, his faith was not merely an intellectual exercise. Newman held a deep and passionate devotion to our lord in the Eucharist. In honor of his canonization, we have collected his prayers and meditations before the Eucharist in order to bring his beautiful and profound love for Christ in the Sacrament to a new generation of Catholics.

How do we love people we don’t agree with? How do we care for and show respect to those who aren’t like us? As we open our Bible and begin to read the very first chapter of Genesis, we discover all men and women are created equal in God’s image. We are endowed with the same rights and designed with the same qualities by an all-powerful Maker. This thread of equality runs throughout the entirety of God’s word and as Christians, we are commanded to express those values to others.

Walk in the footsteps of a king! King David is regarded as one of the Bible’s greatest heroes for one reason: he was a sold-out worshipper.
