Prayer for the Success of the Eucharistic Congress From “The Raccolta, 601” 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, deacons, 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.
‘The Nativity’ This year’s Eucharistic Congress prayer card features “The Nativity” by Federico Barocci (1535-1612), a 1597 oil painting on display at the Museo del Prado in Madrid. The painting depicts the Blessed Virgin Mary and St ,Joseph adoring the Infant Jesus, with metaphors depicting Him as the Living Bread. First, He was born in the town of Bethlehem, which means “house of bread.” Additionally, He was laid in a manger, a food trough from which animals ate. Jesus is both food for our spiritual journey, and food that physically nourishes us in the Eucharist.

Eucharistic Procession and Adoration 9 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 8 The Eucharistic Congress presents plenty of opportunities for the faithful to come and spend time with Our Lord in the Most Blessed Sacrament.

Adoration will begin Friday night, Sept. 7, starting with a procession from Hall B of the Charlotte Convention Center up to St. Peter Church, 507 S. Tryon St. Participants are welcome to carry electric candles. Adoration will then be held overnight at St. Peter Church from 9:30 p.m. to 8 a.m. Saturday.

Line up along the procession route as noted above and join in with your parish once its banner passes. The Eucharistic Procession will culminate inside Hall A of the convention center, where a Holy Hour will be celebrated starting at 10:15 a.m. Saturday. Following the Holy Hour, silent Eucharistic Adoration will be held in the Chapel in Hall B, adjacent to the Confession Area. Members of the Knights of Columbus will stand at the entrance to the Chapel, where everyone is invited to come in, kneel and pray for as long as they like.

Dana Catherine
HORN
CATHERINE
A young singer/songwriter and speaker, Dana travels throughout the U.S. to encourage and inspire others with her songs and stories. Growing up in a Catholic family, Dana always had a strong faith, but it wasn’t until she went to college that her relationship with God truly deepened. Through the ups and downs of college life, Dana began to understand that true and lasting happiness, peace, and purpose is found in Christ alone. Only then did she realize that God was calling her to step out and share His truth and love with others using the musical gifts she was given. At just 25, Dana’s music and bold witness have led her to perform and speak at high schools, youth rallies, conferences and other diocesan youth events alongside nationally known speakers, including Leah Darrow, Dr. Scott Hahn, and Mark Hart. She’s also led worship at numerous retreats, including those led by accomplished author and speaker, Father Jacques Philippe, and toured with international Christian artists, such as Phil Wickham (“This is Amazing Grace”), Micah Tyler (“Different”) and Josh Wilson (“Pushing Back the Dark”). With one album already under her belt, Dana recently released her latest EP, “Nothing in the World,” which can be found everywhere music is sold.

Child safety, lost children There will be three unmanned Child Safety Sticker locations: at the base of the escalators into Hall A, the entrance to Hall C, and in Concourse A near the Starbucks. Parents can write their cell phone number on the sticker provided and then put the sticker on their child’s back. In the event the child is separated from an adult, staff can call the phone number on the sticker to reach the parent/chaperone. Lost children will be taken to one of two locations (whichever is closer): the Eucharistic Congress Information Booth in Hall B (look for the gold drape), or the Volunteer Check-in area on Concourse A.
Patron saint of Eucharistic congresses St. Paschal Baylon (15401592) was a shepherd and lay brother of the Franciscan Friars. His life was noted for his devotion to Eucharistic Adoration. In 1897 Pope Leo XIII declared St. Pascal the patron saint of all Eucharistic congresses and associations. His feast is on May 17.

Gain a plenary indulgence A plenary, or full, indulgence is offered to those who attend the Eucharistic Congress, go to confession, receive Holy Communion and offer prayers for the Holy Father within one week of the Congress. “An indulgence is a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven,” according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church (1471).
Interpretation for the Deaf Once again this year the Eucharistic Congress will offer interpreting for the deaf in Hall A. Volunteer signers will translate the Holy Hour and the closing Mass.

Holy Mass Hall A – 4:15 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 8 Entrance hymns I “At the Lamb’s High Feast We Sing” At the Lamb’s high feast we sing, Praise to our victorious king, Who hath washed us in the tide Flowing from his piercèd side; Praise we Him, whose love divine Gives His sacred blood for wine, Gives His body for the feast, Christ the victim, Christ the priest
Mighty victim from the sky, Hell’s fierce powers beneath Thee lie; Thou hast conquered in the fight, Thou hast brought us life and light; Now no more can death appall, Now no more the grave enthrall; Thou hast opened paradise, And in Thee Thy saints shall rise.
Where the Paschal blood is poured, Death’s dark angel sheathes his sword; Israel’s hosts triumphant go Through the wave that drowns the foe. Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed, Paschal victim, paschal bread; With sincerity and love Eat we manna from above.
Paschal triumph, Easter joy, Only sin can this destroy; From sin’s death do Thou set free Souls reborn, O Lord, in Thee. Hymns of glory and of praise, Father, to Thee we raise; Risen Lord, all praise to Thee, Ever with the Spirit be.
II “Bendito, Bendito” Refrain: Bendito, bendito, bendito sea Dios, los ángeles cantan y alaban a Dios. los ángeles cantan y alaban a Dios.
A tus plantas llego confuso de dolor, de todas mis culpas imploro tu perdón. de todas mis culpas imploro tu perdón. (Refrain)
Jesús de mi alma, te doy mi corazón, y en cambio te pido me des tu bendición. y en cambio te pido me des tu bendición. (Refrain)
Yo creo, Dios mío, que estás en el altar, oculto en la Hostia te vengo a adorar. oculto en la Hostia te vengo a adorar. (Refrain)
Adoro en la hostia el Cuerpo de Jesús, su sangre preciosa que dio por mí en la cruz. su sangre preciosa que dio por mí en la cruz. (Refrain)
Oh cielo y tierra, decid a una voz, bendito por siempre, bendito sea Dios. bendito por siempre, bendito sea Dios. (Refrain)
III “O God Beyond All Praising” O God beyond all praising, we worship you today and sing the love amazing that songs cannot repay; for we can only wonder at every gift you send, at blessings without number and mercies without end: we lift our hearts before you and wait upon your word, we honor and adore you, our great and mighty Lord.
Though small in mortal stature, to Heaven’s garden grown: For Christ the Man from Heaven from death has set us free, And we through him are given the final victory. Then hear, O gracious Saviour, Accept the love we bring, That we who know your favour May serve you as our King; And whether our tomorrows be filled with good or ill, We’ll triumph through our sorrows And rise to bless you still: To marvel at your beauty And glory in your ways, And make a joyful duty Our sacrifice of praise.
The flow’r of earthly splendor in time must surely die, Its fragile bloom surrender to you, the Lord most high; But hidden from all nature the eternal seed is sown -
Introit: The Lord opened the doors of heaven, and rained down manna for them to eat, He gave them bread from heaven and man ate the bread of angels. Alleluia.

First Reading A reading from the Book of Exodus (Ex 12:21-27) Moses called all the elders of the children of Israel and said to them, “Go and procure lambs for your families, and slaughter them as Passover victims. Then take a bunch of hyssop, and dipping it in the blood that is in the basin, sprinkle the lintel and the two doorposts with this blood. But none of you shall go outdoors until morning. For the Lord will go by, striking down the Egyptians. Seeing the blood on the lintel and the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over that door and not let the destroyer come into your houses to strike you down. “You shall observe this as a perpetual ordinance for yourselves and your descendants. Thus, you must also observe this rite when you have entered the land which the Lord will give you as he promised. When your children ask you, ‘What does this rite of yours mean?’ you shall reply, ‘This is the Passover sacrifice of the Lord, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt; when he struck down the Egyptians, he spared our houses.’” Then the people bowed down in worship. The word of the Lord. R: Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm (Ps 23:1-3, 4, 5, 6) R. The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. In verdant pastures he gives me repose; Beside restful waters he leads me; he refreshes my soul. He guides me in right paths for his name’s sake.
You spread the table before me in the sight of my foes; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. R. The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.
R. The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.
Only goodness and kindness follow me all the days of my life; And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord for years to come.
Even though I walk in the dark valley I fear no evil; for you are at my side With you rod and your staff that give me courage.
R. The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.
R. The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.
Second Reading A reading from the first Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians (1 Cor 11:23-26) Brothers and sisters: I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread and, after he had given thanks, broke it and said, “This is my Body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my Blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes. The word of the Lord. R: Thanks be to God. R: Alleluia. “I am the living bread that came down from heaven, says the Lord; whoever eats this bread will live forever.”
Gospel Reading A reading from the holy Gospel according to John (Jn 6: 41-51) The Jews murmured about Jesus because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven,” and they said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph? Do we not know his father and mother? hen how can he say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” Jesus answered and said to them, “Stop murmuring among yourselves. No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him, and I will raise him on the last day. It is written in the prophets: They shall all be taught by God. Everyone who listens to my Father and learns from him comes to me. Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died; this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my Flesh for the life of the world.” The Gospel of the Lord. R: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. 11
Offertory Antiphon: This is my body which is given up for you, this is the cup of the new covenant in my blood, says the Lord. Each time that you partake thereof, do it in memory of me.
Offertory hymn: “Jesus, My Lord, My God, My All” Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all! How can I love Thee as I ought? And how revere this wondrous gift, So far surpassing hope or thought?
Had I but Mary’s sinless heart With which to love Thee, dearest King, Oh, with what ever fervent praise, Thy goodness, Jesus, would I sing! (Refrain)
Refrain: Sweet Sacrament, we Thee adore! Oh, make us love Thee more and more. Oh, make us love Thee more and more.
Thy Body, Soul and Godhead, all! O mystery of love divine! I cannot compass all I have, For all Thou hast and art is mine! (Refrain)

Communion hymns I “O Jesus We Adore Thee” (“O Sacrament Most Holy”) O Jesus, we adore thee Who in thy love divine, Conceal thy mighty Godhead In forms of bread and wine.
O Jesus, we adore thee, Our Savior and our King, And with the saints and angels A Humble homage bring. (Refrain)
Refrain: O Sacrament most holy, O Sacrament divine, All praise and all thanksgiving Be every moment thine!
O Jesus, we adore thee, Come, live in us, we pray, That all our thoughts and actions Be thine alone today. (Refrain)
O Jesus, we adore thee, Our Victim and our Priest, Whose precious blood and body Become our sacred feast. (Refrain)
O come, all you who labor In sorrow and in pain; Come, eat this bread from heaven, Your peace and strength regain. (Refrain)
II “Pueblo de Reyes” Refrain: Pueblo de reyes, asamblea santa, pueblo Sacerdotal, pueblo de Dios, bendice a Tú Señor. Te cantamos, oh Hijo amado del Padre, Te alabamos, eterna palabra salida de Dios. Te cantamos, oh Hijo de la Virgen María, Te alabamos, oh Cristo, nuestro hermano, nuestro Salvador. Te cantamos a ti, esplendor de la gloria, Te alabamos, estrella radiante que anuncias el día. Te cantamos, oh luz que iluminas nuestras sombras. Te alabamos, antorcha de la nueva Jerusalén.
Te cantamos, Mesías que anunciaron los profetas. Te alabamos, oh hijo de Abraham e hijo de David. Te cantamos, Mesías esperado por los pobres. Te alabamos, oh Cristo nuestro rey de humilde corazón. Te cantamos, mediador entre Dios y los hombres, Te alabamos, oh ruta viviente camino del cielo. Te cantamos, sacerdote de la nueva alianza. Te alabamos, Tú eres nuestra paz por la sangre de la Cruz. Te cantamos, cordero de la Pascua eterna, Te alabamos, oh víctima que borras nuestros pecados.

Closing hymns I “Salve Regina”
II “Holy God, We Praise Thy Name” Holy God, we praise thy name; Lord of all, we bow before thee; all on earth thy scepter claim; all in heaven above adore thee. Infinite thy vast domain; everlasting is thy reign.
Hark the glad celestial hymn angel choirs above are raising; cherubim and seraphim, in unceasing chorus praising, fill the heavens with sweet accord: Holy, holy, holy Lord.
14
Holy Father, Holy Son, Holy Spirit: three we name thee, though in essence only one; undivided God we claim thee, and adoring bend the knee while we own the mystery.
