“I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.” (John 6:51)
The US Conference of Bishops is promoting a movement of renewal in the Church that seeks to enkindle a living relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. This movement will promote healing, conversion, formation, and unification through an encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist, which will propel us to evangel others through our renewed faith and relationship with Jesus. Our celebration of adoration of the blessed sacrament and benediction is part of our parish’s efforts in this movement. My different efforts to have a conversation about the significance of the Eucharist and to strengthen our sense of being a community of Eucharistic people in our parishes of Holy Savior and Immaculate Conception and in our prison ministry reflect the theme of this Eucharistic renewal movement. As we celebrate the solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ this weekend, we look forward to journeying through this Eucharist revival that will take place in the Church. May we all grow together in our understanding of the Eucharist as one of the central beliefs and practices of our faith. Have a blessed week everyone - Father Lincoln.
