There is an ancient Catholic tradition in the city of Rome to visit seven churches after the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday and to pray before the Blessed Sacrament in each of those seven churches. In the spirit of this Roman tradition, we have designated twenty-one of our churches to keep their churches open until 11pm on Holy Thursday. Please try to visit seven of those churches and pray our diocesan prayer for Eucharistic Revival at each church.

 Diocesan Eucharistic Revival Prayer

   Lord Jesus, as we gather at your altar, you give yourself to us in the Most Holy Eucharist, so that we might become what we receive. By your holy presence, we are blessed. May we be transformed forever by your love that
stretches forth to us from this altar. May your sharing in our humanity humble us to share in your divinity.  Heal our brokenness with your Real Presence and help us to draw strength from you in the Eucharist. Unite us to you in this Sacrament that brings healing and redemption. As we glorify you by our lives, give us grace and courage to share your love with a world sorely in need of your mercy. May your true presence bring hope to those on the peripheries,
dry the tears of the poor and the wounded, and end our divisions.

  May your Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity be a constant source of revival for us. Let us become One with you as we seek the peace of your kingdom where you live with the Father and the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever. Amen.
