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
When we receive the Eucharist we are receiving the body of Christ. All who partake become the body of Christ.
This will be the 10th National Eucharistic Congress. The most recent ones were in:
Chicago 1926, New Orleans 1938, Philadelphia 1976, Indianapolis 2024
What is the bread, but the body of Christ.
What do they become who partake of it? The Body of Christ.
The Eucharist is the means by which we are Christified.
Our lowly bodies are prepared for heaven by the Body and Blood of Christ
Make Jesus always part of your hunger. He will give you the strength to go out and profess that you are Christian. Pope John Paul II

With each parish represented at this historic gathering, the fires of Pentecost will be brought back to ignite our churches with Eucharistic love. This is God’s promise, and we believe in a God who keeps his promises!
The bishops of the United States are calling on each community—from rural Alaska to urban New York—to come to be set ablaze, bringing the holy fire back to their home parishes and neighborhoods.
Every parish in the US should try to be represented in some way.
