International Eucharistic Congress Prayer

Father God, we thank and praise You for Your Son Jesus, the embodiment of Your love for all of humanity. Protect Your Church as it joyfully and hopefully celebrates the 49th International Eucharistic Congress. Renew our belief in the Holy Eucharist, the living memory of Your Son's passion and glory. May Your Holy Spirit illuminate our hearts and empower us to be steadfast witnesses of the Gospel. Feed us with Your Word and the Bread of Life so that, united with Mary, Mother of Your Divine Son and our Church, we may produce abundant fruit for the salvation of all. We pray this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. [Imprimatur: Marc cardinal Ouellet, Archbishop of Quebec, June 19th, 2006. Nibil obstat: Jean Pelletier, p.h., Chancellor, June 20th, 2006]
