“The Eucharist is Jesus who gives himself entirely to us, feeding on Him and abiding in Him through Eucharistic communion – if we do so in faith – transforms our lives into a gift to God and to our brothers and sisters.” For a Catholic, receiving Holy Communion in a state of grace and with faith and love therefore means “entering into harmony with the heart of Christ, assimilating his choices, his thoughts, his behavior. It means entering a dynamism of love and becoming people of peace, people of forgiveness, reconciliation.”
~ Pope Francis

“聖體聖事，是耶穌他將自己完全獻給我們，以他為食，並通過聖體聖事而住在他裡面——如果我們本著信仰這樣做的話——將我們的生活變成天主和我們兄弟姐妹的禮物。” 因此，對於天主教徒而言，在恩典的狀態下，以信仰和愛接受聖體聖事意味著“與基督的心和諧相處，吸收他的選擇、他的思想、他的行為。這意味著進入愛的活力，成為和平、寬恕、和解的人。”

Ministry Description

The permission for this ministry, given in 1969 by Pope Paul VI, was implemented by the instruction aptly entitled Immensae Caritatis — Immense Love. From the instruction we read, “Christ the Lord has left to the Church, his spouse, a testament of this immense love. This wonderful gift of the Eucharist, which is the greatest gift of all, demands that such an important mystery would be increasingly known and its saving power more fully shared. . . . Present-day conditions demand that, while the utmost reverence owing to such a Sacrament is maintained, greater access to Holy Communion should be made possible so that the faithful, by sharing more fully in the fruits of the sacrifice of the Mass, might dedicate themselves more readily and effectively to God and to the good of the Church and of humankind.”

The Extraordinary Minister (EMHC) performs a great service for Our Lady of Good Counsel by assisting the priest with the distribution of Holy Communion to God’s people during Mass and to those in nursing homes or homebound. It is an honor and privilege to serve the Church in this capacity.

教宗保祿六世於 1969 年授予這項事工的許可，並由名為 Immensae Caritatis - Immense Love的指示實施. 從我們讀到的指示中，“主基督已留給教會，他的配偶，證明了這種巨大的愛。聖體這個奇妙的禮物，是所有禮物中最偉大的禮物，要求如此重要的奧秘越來越廣為人知，它的拯救力量更充分地分享。. . . 當今的情況要求，在保持對這種聖事的最大敬意的同時，應該讓更多的人獲得聖體聖事，以便信徒通過更充分地分享彌撒犧牲的果實，可以奉獻自己更容易和更有效地為上帝和教會和人類的利益服務。”

送聖體員 (EMHC) 為我們Our Lady of Good Counsel 教堂，提供了一項偉大的服務，協助神父在彌撒期間向天主的子民以及在療養院或居家的人分發聖餐。以這種身份為教會服務是一種榮譽和特恩。
