Pope Benedict XVI is happy to report a “springtime of Eucharist devotion in the Church today,” he told his weekly public audience on November 16.
The Pope said that he has seen a revival of interest in Eucharistic adoration, especially among young people. It is a “wonderful development,” he said that more people “stop in silence before the tabernacle to spend time with Him.”
The Pope made these remarks as he discussed the influence of St. Juliana of Liege, an Augustinian nun who experienced a mystical vision that prompted her to advocate the establishment of the liturgical feast of Corpus Christi to inspire greater devotion to the Eucharist. Pope Urban IV proclaimed that feast in 1264, enlisting St. Thomas Aquinas to write the beautiful liturgical texts for the feast.
Agreed! It’s wonderful here at the seminary – we have opportunities for Adoration every day except Friday.
Yes, it’s wonderful. We have an ‘almost’ perpetual adoration chapel here at my parish as well. It’s open daily from 5 am to midnight, and it has been a true blessing. I wish all parishes would have one as well…
