In this episode of Gotta Be Saints, I sit down with Fr. Patrick Briscoe, OP, to reflect on the beauty and power of the Eucharist as we prepare for Corpus Christi. Together, we discuss why Jesus chose to remain with us in the Blessed Sacrament, how the saints were transformed through Eucharistic devotion, and practical ways we can grow closer to Christ through silence, prayer, adoration, and community.

Drawing from the lives of saints like St. Dominic, St. Thomas Aquinas, and St. Catherine of Siena, Fr. Patrick shares how the Eucharist became the center of his own vocation and spiritual life. This conversation is an invitation to rediscover the heart of the Christian life and encounter Jesus truly present in the Eucharist.
