February 4, 1811 is the birthday of St. Peter Julian Eymard. St. Eymard is the founder of two congregations: the 'Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament' (1856) for religious-Priests and religious-Brothers; and the 'Servants of the Blessed Sacrament,' (1858) a female counterpart for the religious-Nuns. St. Peter Julian Eymard's spirituality is summarized by being Eucharistic where faithful Adoration to the Blessed Sacrament is among the many Eucharistic ministries they partake in the Church. St. Eymard Eymard was a tireless proponent of frequent Holy Communion, an idea given more authoritative backing by Pope Pius X in 1905. According to St. Eymard "You take communion to become holy, not because you already are."
