I had the tremendous joy and privilege to participate in the 10th National Eucharistic Congress last week in Indianapolis. It was amazing be present with 60,000 Catholics, including around 150 bishops, over 1,000 priests, and hundreds of religious sisters, all focused on growing our relationship with the Eucharistic Lord Jesus.
During the course of the five days of the Congress, we heard from some tremendous speakers, joined ourselves heart and soul with Our Lord’s Infinite Sacrifice of Love made present in the Mass, and spent hours in praise and adoration. In every way, it was inspirational.
On Saturday afternoon, we had a Eucharistic Procession through downtown Indianapolis. The procession stretched 6 or more city blocks, with tens of thousands of Catholics lining the street as the religious and clergy processed in front of the Blessed Sacrament. Here’s a picture of the procession in front of the iconic “Soldiers and Sailors” Monument in the heart of the city:
At the end of the procession, we were in American Legion park, and Our Blessed Lord was enthroned on an altar on the Indiana World War Memorial. After a time of adoration, we all received the blessing of the Eucharistic Lord (Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament) from the War Memorial. I saw it as Our Eucharistic Lord sending out His blessing upon the city of Indianapolis, the state of Indiana, and the entire United States of America.
I would encourage everyone to listen to the tremendous talks that were given during our evening Revival Sessions. Here’s one by Chris Stefanick:
