Revival’s in the Air
AN EXCITING JOURNEY AHEAD
Our world is hurting. We all need healing, yet many of us are separated from the very source of our strength. Jesus Christ invites us to return to the source and summit of our faith in the celebration of the Eucharist.
National Eucharistic Revival
The National Eucharistic Revival is a movement to restore understanding and devotion to this great mystery here in the United States by helping us renew our worship of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.
“Reignite your zeal for living a Christ-centered life.”
In an age marked by division and doubt, the Holy Spirit is inviting the U.S. to find unity and renewal through a grassroots National Eucharistic Revival. This movement—discerned and approved by the bishops of the U.S.—is critical to rekindling a living faith in the hearts of Catholics across America. All over the country, love and devotion to Jesus in the Eucharist is blossoming in the pews!
Why Now? BECAUSE THE CHURCH NEEDS HEALING. AND THE WORLD NEEDS THE CHURCH. In the midst of the cultural upheavals of today, Jesus is present, reminding us that he is more powerful than the storm. He desires to heal, renew, and unify the Church and the world.
How will he do it? By uniting us once again around the source and summit of our faith in the celebration of the Eucharist. The National Eucharistic Revival is the joyful, expectant, grassroots response of the entire Catholic Church in the U.S. to this divine invitation.
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)
Missionary Sending
Get ready to answer the call to mission!
Transmitting the faith means to create in every place and time the conditions which lead to this encounter between the person and Jesus Christ. The goal of all evangelization is to create the possibility for this encounter, which is, at one and the same time, intimate, personal, public and communal.” (2012 Instrumentum Laboris 20)
Mobilizing Catholics in the pews! Each parishioner is invited to reach at least one person with the message of Christ’s Eucharistic love and embrace our mission to “Go” as we are sent out at the end of each Mass on mission.
The world needs Jesus. The Holy Spirit is filling us with grace and zeal—setting our hearts ablaze with his love and sending us out to share it with the world. Through the Eucharist, God desires to heal, renew, and unify the Church and the world.
The task of evangelizing all people constitutes the essential mission of the Church. It is a task and mission which the vast and profound changes of present-day society make all the more urgent. Evangelizing is in fact the grace and vocation proper to the Church, her deepest identity. She exists in order to evangelize.” (Pope Paul VI)
God has a Mission for You. This ten minute video demonstrates how YOU have a role in God’s plan of salvation. Jesus said, “As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” Let’s pray for God’s grace to accomplish the mission he assigned to us. Let’s get to work.
The final, and ongoing, phase of the National Eucharistic Revival is to go out on mission. Parishes will keep an outward orientation that allows the goodness of personal Eucharistic encounter to flow into the broader community and impact lives for Christ.
