Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
On today’s Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, I am pleased to announce that a prayer has been written for our Diocese to help each person renew their belief in the Mystery of the Eucharist, Christ truly present for us, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity.
Today also marks the start of the Parish Year of the National Eucharistic Revival. At this particular moment for the Catholic Church in the United States, with its many challenges, the National Eucharistic Revival is an opportunity to reflect on Christ’s gift of Himself in the Eucharist and our response to that gift.
Will you join me in prayer? It is my hope that this prayer will help us to grow in our devotion to Jesus in the Eucharist.
May God bless you abundantly!
Most Reverend Gregory Parkes
Bishop of St. Petersburg
