The 10th National Eucharistic Congress began yesterday in Indianapolis with tens of thousands of people coming together to deepen their relationship with Christ and renew their devotion to the Eucharist.
Seeing this Congress converge from across the country reminds us that the Eucharist truly is the living center of the universe, a gravitational force that draws us all closer to one another and reminds us of our deep interconnectedness through Christ. Adoring and contemplating Christ’s presence amongst us powerfully reveals to us the truth of who we are and our human capacity to love as Christ loves.
This experience only underscores the expansive sense of fraternity we friars are called to live into as “lesser brothers.” Truly, we are all brothers and sisters journeying together with Christ toward more expansive love, more authentic life and deeper union with one another.
The Franciscan friars of the Province of Our Lady of Guadalupe are at booth #944 in the Expo Hall at the Indiana Convention Center. Stop by and say hello! For more updates from the Eucharistic Congress, follow us on Facebook, Instagram or X.
