PRAYER FOR THE NATIONAL EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL
Lord Jesus Christ, you give us your flesh and blood for the life of the world, and you desire that all people come to the Supper of the Sacrifice of the Lamb. Renew in your Church the truth, beauty, and goodness contained in the Most Blessed Eucharist.
Jesus living in the Eucharist, come and live in me.
Jesus healing in the Eucharist, come and heal me.
Jesus sacrificing yourself in the Eucharist, come and suffer in me.
Jesus rising in the Eucharist, come and rise to new life in me.
Jesus loving in the Eucharist, come and love in me.
Lord Jesus Christ, through the paschal mystery of your death and resurrection made present in every Holy Mass, pour out your healing love on your Church and on our world. Grant that as we lift you up during this time of Eucharistic Revival, your Holy Spirit may draw all people to join us at this Banquet of Life. You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever.
Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mother of the Eucharist, Pray for us.
What is a National Eucharistic Revival?
The Bishops of the United States are calling for a three-year grassroots revival of devotion and belief in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. They believe that God wants to see a movement of Catholics across the United States, healed, converted, formed, and unified by an encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist—and sent out in mission “for the life of the world.”
These three years will culminate in the first National Eucharistic Congress in the United States in almost fifty years.Almost a hundred thousand Catholics will join together in Indianapolis for a once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage toward the “source and summit” of our Catholic faith.
Bishop Checchio is part of the Bishops’ Advisory Group for the Revival Team.
More information about the Eucharistic Revival in the Diocese of Metuchen can be found here: diometuchen.org/eucharisticrevival
Pope Francis in this World Synod is calling Church to prayer
participation and communion – this is our local effort to heed
the Holy Father’s call and to increase our devotion and love
for Christ and to intentionally be untied with Him and
one another for the sake of mission.
The Most Rev. James F. Checchio, JCD, MBA, Bishop of Metuchen provides information on the upcoming Synod on Synodality and the critical role
of the diocesan phase.
More information or to read the report (see letter from Bishop from Checchio below) can be obtained at www.diometuchen.org/synod2023
The purpose of the synod is not to produce more documents. It is intended to inspire people to dream about the Church we are called to be, to make people’s hope flourish, to stimulate trust, to bind up wounds, to weave new and deeper relationships, to learn from one another, to build bridges, to enlighten minds, warm hearts and restore strength to our hands for our common mission.
The synodal journey is of great significance for the good of both the universal and local Church. During this process, the Diocese of Metuchen invites all the People of God to listen to each other, without exception, and with particular care to involve also those who are further away and are perhaps sometimes not included.
PRAYER FOR THE SYNOD ON SYNODALITY
We stand before you, Holy Spirit, conscious of our sinfulness,
but aware that we gather in your name.
Come to us, remain with us, and enlighten our hearts.
Give us light and strength to know your will, to make it our own,
and to live it in our lives.
Guide us by your wisdom, support us by your power,
for you are God, sharing the glory of Father and Son.
You desire justice for all: enable us to uphold the rights of others;
do not allow us to be misled by ignorance or corrupted by fear or favor.
Unite us to yourself in the bond of love and keep us faithful
to all that is true.
As we gather in your name may we temper justice with love,
so that all our decisions may be pleasing to you, and earn the reward
promised to good and faithful servants.
You live and reign with the Father and the Son,
God, for ever and ever. Amen.
