American Eucharistic Witnesses:
Sacrifice and the Testimony of Francis Cardinal George
Struck with polio as a young teenager, it seemed the hopes for Francis George to be ordained a priest were dashed. George never allowed suffering to take his eyes off Jesus or cease living as a man for others.
We are pleased to present Michael R. Heinlein’s essay on Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I., our first American Eucharistic Witness,
as we spiritually pave the way to
the National Eucharistic Congress next summer!

The Eucharist and the Sacred Heart:
A Prayer after Communion
By St. John Henry Newman
Most Sacred, most loving Heart of Jesus,
You are concealed in the Holy Eucharist,
And you beat for us still.
Now, as then, you say: “With desire I have desired.”
I worship you with all my best love and awe,
With fervent affection,
With my most subdued, most resolved will.
For a while you take up your abode within me.
O make my heart beat with your Heart!
Purify it of all that is earthly,
All that is proud and sensual,
All that is hard and cruel,
Of all perversity,
Of all disorder,
Of all deadness.
So fill it with you,
That neither the events of the day,
Nor the circumstances of the time,
May have the power to ruffle it;
But that in your love and your fear,
It may have peace.
