In the Eucharist, the Lord is present to us in a most intimate way; and yet we know that he is also present to us in a way that binds us together as one body, the Body of Christ. The Eucharist is the lifeblood of the Church, a gift that was meant to be shared. What we receive from God, we are called to give to others. We give good public witness of our love for Christ in the Eucharist through our acts of charity, thereby keeping Christ’s presence alive in our world today.
On December 12, 2019, the Diocese of Metuchen was consecrated to Jesus under the patronage of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The intention for this consecration was to ask for the graces needed for a New Evangelization. By this consecration, Bishop James F. Checchio's prayer is that it will stir up an increased holiness of life, a renewed commitment to living the Gospel message to the full, and the enthusiastic willingness to share that message with others among the faithful.
