The Eucharist and Victory Over Abortion By Fr. Frank A. Pavone National Director, Priests for Life Devotion to the Eucharist is never isolated from the rest of life. Rather, its purpose is to unite us to Christ, and this union means that we live in His life all the hours of our day. There are particular links between Eucharistic devotion and the fight to end abortion.
Abortion destroys the most defenseless members of society, the babies in the womb.
The Eucharist teaches us that the importance of something cannot be judged by its size or appearance. Christ, the Son of God, takes on the appearance of a small piece of bread and cup of wine. Our Faith leads us beyond the appearances. We know that after the consecration there is no more bread or wine on the altar. Now it is Christ who is present, in His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity.
