Jonathan Roumie Invites Non-Catholics to Embrace Catholicism for Jesus in the Eucharist

In a moment that brought both surprise and profound reflection, American actor Jonathan Roumie—best known for his role of Jesus in ‘The Chosen’— showed up at the Napa Institute’s Eucharistic procession at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, sharing a powerful testimony about the Eucharist’s impact on his life. Addressing a packed cathedral, Roumie spoke not as a celebrity but as a fellow believer who deeply relies on the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. “I couldn’t have portrayed the Passion of Jesus without it,” Roumie said. “Receiving the Eucharist daily gave me the strength to enter into the suffering, passion, and crucifixion of Christ, not just for the role, but for my own soul.” Roomie’s heartfelt witness was met with reverent silence, followed by a warm wave of applause. He encouraged Catholics to draw near to Jesus through the Eucharist as often as possible and invited non-Catholics to consider joining the Catholic faith to experience Jesus in the Eucharist. “You don’t have to play Jesus on TV,” he said, smiling. “But you can be Jesus to the people around you.” ---------------- Social Media ---------------- Facebook:   / shalomworldnews   Instagram:   / shalomworldnews   Twitter: https://x.com/shalomworldnews
