Today, August 15, we also commemorate the life of Saint Tarcisius, Patron Saint of First Communicants and Altar Serves.
He was a young Roman altar server in the third century who volunteered to carry the Holy Eucharist to the imprisoned Christians when no deacons were available. When a group of youths came up to him, wanting to see what he was hiding, he protected it and refused to give the Holy Eucharist.
Saint Tarcisius reminds us to have a strong devotion to the Holy Eucharist and to have the bravery and fortitude to protect Jesus Christ and his life. And that faith is not just shown through words but also through actions.
HSAians, like St. Tarcisius, let us stand for what we believe in, be courageous, and do what is right even in difficult situations. Let us remember that age does not limit our capacity to do good things and to make a difference.
Let us pray:
Saint Tarcisius, pray for us, that we may follow your example by defending the honour of
the Blessed Sacrament all the days of our life and even unto death. Amen.
