The Importance of Eucharist for Seminarians in Major Seminary

This book highlights the Holy Eucharist which is the center of life for all priests and seminarians, especially in the process of becoming priesthood related to the continuous formation in union with Christ to make them more closely united one another during the life. Seminarians are selected from Junior Schools and they are constructed to be the proper priest candidates with the program human formation, spiritual formation, intellectual formation, pastoral formation, and missionary formation. Constructing the spiritual life of the seminarians is by celebrating Eucharist everyday for spiritual power. The seminarians therefore should join Mass everyday as stated in the 1983 Code of Canon Law, and Can. 246 §1. It is believed that Christ offers Himself up to God the Father through the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass; and that we receive His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity which is the center of Priest Formation. The question is why is Eucharist important in formatting the Seminarians in the Major Seminary? It is a belief that Eucharist is to construct spiritual life of priests and all Christians in general. Priests and Christians believe that Eucharist is the source of life.
