Praise God! Have you heard? The Catholic Church is in Eucharistic Revival! Preborn Jesus Ministry won't allow this grace-filled moment in the Church to pass us by without doing our part to revive a hunger to receive Jesus in the Eucharist.
From the birthing of this apostolate in 2009 through the present, our sacred artwork has inspired devotion to Jesus within the womb of Mary, The Ark of The New Covenant. It's the perfect time to launch our new T-shirt at the cusp of this Advent Season in this time of Eucharistic Revival. Our special Patron from the Cloud of Witnesses for this T-shirt Project is St. Joseph who desires that His Jesus may be loved, worshiped and praised in the Holy Eucharist at this time of Revival!
Inspired by our striking statue and medal of Mary, Ark of The New Covenant, there are 3 essential points that comprise the message on our Eucharist tee.
Central to the message of the graphic, one recognizes that indeed, the ark is God's Presence with man.
And by taking our T-shirts to the streets we can help others to recognize Jesus's Presence in us at Holy Communion by using The Ark theme to educate.
1. The Ark of The Covenant of Old was a sacred gold box and a visible sign of God's invisible presence and protection for the Israelites. The ark contained:2. To understand Mary under her title, Ark of The New Covenant this quote from St. Francis de Sales, published in the January, 2015 edition of Magnificat nails it:
"The chaste womb resembles the Ark in which were the manna, the rod of Aaron which had blossomed, and the tablets of the Law of Moses (Heb 9:4)….”Oh, how blessed then is this womb,” our Lord seems to say, “since it is more precious than the Ark of the Covenant; and therefore how blessed is this Woman because she is my Mother. And certainly this happiness belongs only to her inasmuch as no other creature, whoever she might be, can or will ever be honored with the title of Mother of God.”
3. After confessing our sins, the Lord shares His divinity with us as we receive His precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in an intimate union at Holy Communion.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church in 1391 on Holy Communion augments our union with Christ.... "The principal fruit of receiving the Eucharist in Holy Communion is an intimate union with Christ Jesus. Indeed, the Lord said: "He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him." 226 Life in Christ has its foundation in the Eucharistic banquet: "As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me." 227
On the feasts of the Lord, when the faithful receive the Body of the Son, they proclaim to one another the Good News that the first fruits of life have been given, as when the angel said to Mary Magdalene, "Christ is risen!" Now too are life and resurrection conferred on whoever receives Christ. 228
1392 What material food produces in our bodily life, Holy Communion wonderfully achieves in our spiritual life. Communion with the flesh of the risen Christ, a flesh "given life and giving life through the Holy Spirit," 229 preserves, increases, and renews the life of grace received at Baptism. This growth in Christian life needs the nourishment of Eucharistic Communion ...."
In conclusion, our Eucharistic Revival T-shirt is a means to inform others with directness and a spontaneity that will appeal strongly to many curious onlookers.
