In the coming months, you will see more of our plans unfolding. In this whole month of July, I will offer a series of catechism (adopted from the USCCB website) on the Eucharist and how to meaningfully participate in it, beginning with the question: Why Sunday?
“What is Eucharistic Adoration?” This is a question we often hear from those new to the faith or searching for ways to deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ. The Catechism of the Catholic Church tells us that, “Adoration is the first attitude of man acknowledging that he is a creature before his Creator. It exalts the greatness of the Lord who made us and the almighty power of the Savior who sets us free from evil. Adoration is homage of the spirit to the “King of Glory,” respectful silence in the presence of the “ever greater” God. Adoration of the thrice-holy and sovereign God of love blends with humility and gives assurance to our supplications.” (CCC 2628)
Why Eucharistic Revival? It is because “ our world is hurting. We all need healing, yet many of us are separated from the source and summit of our faith in the celebration of the Eucharist. The National Eucharistic Revival is a movement to restore understanding and devotion to this great mystery by helping us renew our worship of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.”
