As we honor Saints Eusebius and Peter Julian Eymard, two staunch defenders of the faith during their times, we would do well to remember that “faith is born of an encounter with the living God who calls us and reveals his love,” writes Pope Francis in Lumen Fidei. How do we encounter God? Any embrace of love is a start, but Peter Eymard is more specific: “Happy the soul that knows how to find Jesus in the Holy Eucharist, and in the Eucharist all things!” MEMORIALS OF EUSEBIUS OF VERCELLI, BISHOP; PETER JULIAN EYMARD, PRIEST
