Seven Conclusions of International Eucharistic Congress

Cardinal Jozef Tomko, the papal legate, presented these conclusions:

1. It is urgent to emphasize the importance of Sunday Mass, central part of the congress.

2. The feast and procession of Corpus Christi (the Body and Blood of Christ) must be emphasized again.

3. Eucharistic adoration in all its forms must be revalued, including nocturnal adoration.

4. Emphasize the importance of frequent and worthy Communion, coupled with the sacrament of reconciliation.

5. Encourage the spirit of mission, which stems from the Eucharist.

6. Share one's table and Mass with the poor, in the service of charity. Combine spiritual commitment with the need of the poor.

7. Renew faith, sacrifice, communion and service in the Eucharist, as a sign for the Catholic Church and the world.

I hope that these will be implemented here.

It is somewhat disconcerting that, at least here in St. Charles county, so few Corpus Christi processions are held. One would obviously think that, at least, the larger parishes would be happy to do this. I pray that more of the pastors of our parishes will take the recommendations to heart and do more to help develop a sincere devotion to our Lord and spend more time in company with Him in prayerful conversation, especially when He is alone in the tabernacles of our churches.
