The National Eucharistic Revival

Manna, from the National Eucharistic Congress, is now free!  It was created to help us pray, learn, and grow in our love for Jesus in the Eucharist. From inspiring talks and live podcast recordings to guided prayer reflections, Manna brings the revival to our fingertips — wherever we are.  We can access Manna from any device—on your web browser or mobile app. Simply open the platform, create your free account, and start exploring.  Although the National Eucharistic Congress has passed, the speakers and music live on!  So do our opportunities to be fed by subscribing to the National Eucharistic Revival newsletterPodcasts. Blogs.
We must remember that grace comes to us through the Sacraments!  Forgiveness requires repentance.  (Jesus’s first recorded word in the Gospels is “Repent!”  Examine your conscience daily with this examen to help you to know how often to seek Reconciliation.)  Also, without absolution of sin there is no communion.  Our life with Jesus — His passion, death and resurrection — began with our Baptisms.  Are we uniting our sufferings with His at the foot of the Cross?  Are we being fed in Word, Sacrament and Service?  Participation means being Christ-like and celebrating the Sacraments!  A pilgrimage is also a way to gain an appreciation of Jesus’ love.  A series of materials guiding you to make a local pilgrimage are available at our worship sites, or by contacting Patty Larzelere.
Let the stories of the Saints help you “encounter Jesus in the Eucharist and go on mission with him for the life of the world.” On Formed, courses like “Presence, The Mystery of the Eucharist” can be found.  Or let Bishop Andrew Cozzens break open “The Mystery of the Eucharist in the Life of the Church.”   Access more about the National Eucharistic Revival on its pages at Instagram, Facebook & YouTube.
