The Holy See recently announced that this Sunday, June 2, as the church celebrates the Feast of Corpus Christi, Pope Francis requests that the church throughout the world celebrate with him an hour of prayer and adoration of the holy Eucharist. He will be presiding for an hour of adoration in St. Peter’s Basilica beginning at 5 p.m. Rome time, which is 11 a.m. Boston time.
Archbishop Fisichella, president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting New Evangelization, has noted that “the worldwide adoration would witness to the profound piety found in the church for the Eucharist.” Pope Francis has chosen a particular intention which he encourages all to pray in solidarity with him. First, he asks us to pray for the church and its mission of mercy; and second, to pray for the needs of those who suffer, including victims of war, the unemployed, the sick, immigrants and prisoners.
Cardinal Sean encourages the faithful to participate in this worldwide engagement of common prayer with the Holy Father: That at each Mass this weekend, in solidarity with the Holy Father, we reflect on our unity with Christ and with Catholics throughout the world.
That we participate in an hour of adoration in solidarity with Pope Francis, perhaps at St. Clement Eucharistic Shrine (1105 Boylston Street, Boston) on Sunday, June 2, any time from noon until 7:00 p.m.
Catholic TV will be airing the hour of adoration live from St. Peter’s Basilica from 11 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. on Sunday and again at 8:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.that evening. Further information regarding this effort can be found at www.annusfidei.va.
