We are Made for Worship

The Diocese of Springfield-Cape Girardeau will conclude its Diocesan Eucharistic Congress with a Prayer of Eucharistic Consecration at the end of Holy Mass. This moment is intended to serve as a highlight of the event alongside Eucharistic Adoration and the availability of Confession.

Debbie Thompson noted that the diocese has encouraged spiritual preparation for the Congress through the book 33 Days to Eucharistic Glory. During the prayer, participants will consecrate themselves to Jesus Christ, whom the text describes as the Bread of Life and truly present in the Blessed Sacrament.

In recent reflections leading up to the Congress, Thompson shared insights from Romano Guardini’s Sacred Signs regarding the significance of church steeples and bells. She noted that these elements help sanctify the surrounding landscape by extending the reach of the sacred space beyond the physical church building.
