Eucharistic Revival

“What the world needs is God’s love; it needs to encounter Christ and to believe in him. The Eucharist is thus the source and summit not only of the Church's life, but also of her mission.”- Sacramentum Caritatis, #84

Over the next three years, every Catholic diocese, parish, school, apostolate, and family is invited to be a part of renewing the Church by enkindling a living relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.

• Year of Diocesan Revival (June 19, 2022 – July 11, 2023). This first year of the Revival invites diocesan staff, bishops, and priests to respond to the Lord’s personal invitation and equips them to share this love with the faithful through Eucharistic congresses and events.
• Year of Parish Revival (June 11, 2023 - July 17, 2024). The second phase will foster Eucharistic devotion at the parish level, strengthening our liturgical life through faithful celebration of the Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, missions, resources, preaching, and organic movements of the Holy Spirit.
• National Eucharistic Congress (July 17 - 21, 2024). At this historic event, more than 80,000 Catholics of all ages will gather in Indianapolis to reconsecrate their hearts to the source and summit of our faith.

The general vision of the Eucharistic Revival is to:

• Foster encounters with Jesus through kerygmatic proclamation and experiences of Eucharistic devotion.
• Contemplate and proclaim the doctrine of the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist through the Truth of our teaching, Beauty of our worship, and Goodness of a life of service.
• Empower grassroots creativity by partnering with movements, apostolates, parishes, and educational institutions.
• Reach the smallest unit: parish small groups and families.
• Embrace and learn from the various rich intercultural Eucharistic traditions.
• Train, send, and accompany more than 100,000 Eucharistic missionaries.

A reflection on the Eucharist with Bishop Malesic

Diocesan Eucharistic Revival Prayer

Lord Jesus, as we gather at your altar, you give yourself to us in the Most Holy Eucharist, so that we might become what we receive.

By your holy presence, we are blessed. May we be transformed forever by your love that stretches forth to us from this altar. May your sharing in our humanity humble us to share in your divinity.

Heal our brokenness with your Real Presence and help us to draw strength from you in the Eucharist. Unite us to you in this Sacrament that brings healing and redemption.

As we glorify you by our lives, give us grace and courage to share your love with a world sorely in need of your mercy. May your true presence bring hope to those on the peripheries, dry the tears of the poor and the wounded, and end our divisions.

May your Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity be a constant source of revival for us. Let us become One with you as we seek the peace of your kingdom where you live with the Father and the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever. Amen.
