The Dialog enlisted Millersville University senior, Saint Mark’s High School product and St. Patrick’s parishioner Abbey Thibodeau to chronicle the events this week of the Diocese of Wilmington delegation to the National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis. Look for her dispatches from Indy and photos online and on social media this week as the event runs July 17-21.
INDIANAPOLIS — Sunday was our last day of the National Eucharistic Congress and it’s been a great time to reflect on all we’ve experienced and all of the different ways we’ve encountered the Lord.
Annalissa Procope, St. Catherine of Siena parishioner, shared some thoughts on the week in Indy. “These past couple of days have truly impacted me and helped me to grow in my faith. Having the privilege to listen to some of the well known speakers in the Catholic community was amazing. But above all my favorite was being able to have a new appreciation for the Eucharist. Sitting in adoration every night truly has changed my heart and has allowed me to open my heart to the Lord and surrender it all to him. As it is the true flesh of Christ. Watching the priest process through the aisles during adoration led to an overwhelming sense of joy leaving me speechless. The Lord is so good to us.”
This morning we attended the closing Mass in Lucas Oil Stadium celebrated by Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle who was sent by our Holy Father Pope Francis to send us his regards and a message.
Cardinal Tagle gave a beautiful homily that perfectly concluded the Congress. I decided to record some of the homily and share it with you all which I will be making a post about, so stayed tuned tomorrow.
We’re currently making our way back home so pray we have safe travels and thank you all for tuning in this week. It has been so lovely to cover this event and bring to you all of the graces we’ve received and include you in our days.
