Friday, September 10th, begins the 2010 Diocese of Charlotte Eucharistic Congress. All servers and their families are highly, highly, highly, and even highly encouraged to attend this wonderful event. It's one of the few times a Pontifical Mass in the Novus Ordo is offered and it's a blessed opportunity to experience the Lord. Even if you've been a number of times, it's also a great opportunity to be united, engage, and even evangelize in word and deed to fellow Catholics. Click here for the Congress Web Page.
For those attending, don't forget to make the Sacrament of Confession at the Congress or within 8 days as well as fullfilling the rest of the requirements with the intention of obtaining the plenary indulgence.
In preparation for the event, servers are encouraged to make a novena of the Prayer for the Eucharistic Congress beginning this Wednesday:
O Jesus, who art really, truly and substantially present in the Blessed Sacrament to be the food of our souls, deign to bless and bring to a successful issue all Eucharistic Congresses and gatherings, and especially the coming Congress of the Diocese of Charlotte. Be Thou the inspiration of our labors, resolutions and vows; accept graciously the solemn homage we will render to Thee; send Your Holy Spirit to kindle the hearts of priests, religious, and all the faithful, especially the children, so that devout participation in the Holy Mass and frequent and daily Holy Communion may be held in honor in all the countries of the world; and grant that the Kingship of Your Sacred Heart over human society may everywhere be acknowledged to the glory of God, the Father. Amen.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, bless the Congress.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, Patroness of our Diocese, pray for us.
Saint Paschal Baylon, pray for us.
Saint Patrick, pray for us.
Amen.
