Heavenly Father, we praise and thank you for your Son Jesus, the embodiment of your love for humanity. Safeguard your Church as it rejoices in the 49th International Eucharistic Congress. Strengthen our belief in the Holy Eucharist, the commemoration of your Son's sacrifice and triumph over death. May your Holy Spirit illuminate our paths and empower us to be steadfast witnesses of the Gospel. Sustain us with your Word and the Bread of Life, so that, united with Mary, Mother of your Divine Son and the Church, we may bring forth abundant fruits for the salvation of the world. We ask this in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.Amen.
