Eucharistic Revival

“Focusing on encountering Jesus, the role of listening is at the heart of this movement. How can we prepare and open ourselves to him? How can we reflect the love he shares with us with others?”

A eucharistic procession through Midtown Manhattan Oct. 11, the Mass that preceded it and the adoration that followed fittingly marked the 60th anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council.

As a reflection of the National Eucharistic Revival, the bistate procession provided an opportunity for Catholics, as a eucharistic people, to “think about how important it is to have that relationship with the Lord,” Bishop Louis Tylka said.

The first of three Eucharist-themed Regional Ministry Gatherings kicked off Oct. 5 at Our Lady of Victory Church in Fergus Falls with Crookston Bishop Andrew Cozzens giving the keynote presentation.

Author Deacon Dennis Lambert’s focus is on the Catholic concept of “real presence” and a better understanding of Catholic beliefs about the Eucharist and holy Communion.

Bishop Andrew Cozzens, chair of the National Eucharistic Revival, will speak in both English and Spanish about the Eucharist as an integral part of the Catholic faith and the importance of the revival.

Relics of St. Manuel Gonzalez Garcia and Blessed Carlo Acutis, patrons of the National Eucharistic Revival, will be available for veneration in three parishes in the Diocese of St. Cloud between Sept. 30 and Oct. 5.

Una serie de tres eventos híbridos de Reunión de Ministerios Regionales este otoño se centrará en el Avivamiento Eucarístico Nacional.
