Grounded in prayer and seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit,
the National Eucharistic Revival has four primary goals:
- To provide a more profound encounter with Jesus Christ in the Sunday liturgy as a point of unity among all Catholics, and through this powerful encounter, find personal healing and courage to take the Gospel to a world in need of authentic love – the love of Christ found in the Eucharist.
- To spark personal conversions through the joyful discovery of a relationship with Christ by encountering the love of God present in Jesus in the Eucharist.
- To elevate the truth and practices of our Catholic faith through the rediscovery of the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist – the Source and Summit of our Church and of who we are as a people of God.
- To form, inspire, and launch missionary disciples, filled with love of God and neighbor that comes from an encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist, to the margins of the Church and the world.
DIOCESAN PRAYER FOR THE EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL
Heavenly Father,
in your loving memory, you sent your Son, Jesus Christ to
redeem the world through his Paschal Mystery.
The disciples on the road to Emmaus pleaded with the Lord, "Stay with us."
Promising to remain with his Church
and to nourish us as the Bread of Life and Cup of Salvation, Jesus left
us the Sacrament of Salvation in the Eucharist.
Stir up in our hearts a lively faith in Jesus' real, loving, and saving presence,
and may the Eucharist become the pattern of our lives.
As a pilgrim Church
may we be nourished and strengthened at the Eucharistic table, and so
"do unto others" in love as you have loved us.
Through the intercession of Saint Joseph and Saint Clare, may we
remain in your love through the Sacrament of your Love.
AMEN.
