IN PHOTOS: Catholics in Vietnam urged to turn Eucharistic devotion into everyday Gospel witness

Father Joseph Tạ Minh Quý urged Catholics in the Archdiocese of Hanoi to integrate Eucharistic adoration and the Rosary into their daily lives to strengthen their witness to the Gospel. Speaking during a Mass at Canh Hoạch Parish on Oct. 4, the Hanoi Cathedral Parish pastor said these forms of prayer allow believers to encounter God and undergo an internal transformation.

Father Quý connected this devotion to the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, noting that Mary helps believers contemplate the life of Jesus and recognize God's presence. He encouraged people to set aside quiet moments each day for prayer to reconnect with God, themselves, and others. He added that silence before the Eucharist provides the spiritual strength needed to live out the faith amidst daily realities.

Canh Hoạch Parish hosted the day of Eucharistic adoration for the Archdiocese of Hanoi on the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time. The observance began with a 6 a.m. Mass, after which parish priest Father Anthony Lê Văn Quyết exposed the Blessed Sacrament for parishioners and members of neighboring communities.
