For in the warmth of his presence, our lives change. Without him, everything would truly be gray. Adoring the Body and Blood of Christ, let us ask him with our heart: “Lord, give me the daily bread to go forward, Lord, satisfy me with your presence!”
POPE FRANCIS, ANGELUS JUNE 19, 2022
The three-year Eucharistic Revival has begun! The Church in the United States is responding to the bishops’ call for us to be healed, converted, formed, and unified by an encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist—and then sent out on mission “for the life of the world” (Jn 6:51). We are invited to deepen our relationship with Jesus Christ, Our Lord, through the celebration of the Eucharist, so that we can be set on fire for the mission our Church needs so desperately.
The Eucharist is the greatest gift that Jesus has given us because it contains his very self. At the Last Supper Jesus says to his Twelve Apostles, “No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” (Jn 15:13). Then he makes that statement real in the gift of the Eucharist when he says, “This is my Body given up for you… this is my Blood poured out for you” (Lk 22:19–20). He gives this saving self-gift—his Paschal Mystery—an enduring presence in the Eucharist, so that for all ages we would be able to receive this gift and learn to make a gift of our own lives: laying down our life for him, as he did for us.
With the National Eucharistic Congress, we began the Eucharistic Revival’s Year of Mission (July 2024–June 2025). There is someone in your life right now whom Jesus longs to call to himself. In this Year of Mission, Catholics across the U.S. are saying “yes” to a special form of heart-to-heart accompaniment called the Walk With One initiative. This is an opportunity to be God’s instrument in the life of another person.
Eucharistic Missionaries will be a big part of the Year of Mission! Inspired by encounters with Christ in the Eucharist and fueled by the Bread of Life, we will become powerful instruments of God’s grace “for the life of the world.” Click here to find out how you can live as a Eucharistic Missionary
Join us this year to boldly proclaim the Gospel and to spread the impact of Jesus's True Presence in our parish and beyond!
