Eucharistic Revival Conference #1: What Is and Why Do We Need a Eucharistic Revival?

Eucharistic Revival Conference #1: What Is and Why Do We Need a Eucharistic Revival?
So, why is there a need for the Eucharistic Revival?
The Eucharist is where Worship begins and ends as a Catholic. So, why is there a need for a revival? A recent survey taken on April 12th of this year shows that people who come to weekly and / or daily Mass represents 28% of all baptized Christians.
Only 20% of all Christians pray daily and consider religion very important of all baptized Christians.
Less Than Half of All Christians Attend One or More Masses During the Year! Why?
The survey continues to reveal interesting data. Of all Christians that come a few times a year (either once a month or so, or only on Christmas and/or Easter), this represents 45% of all baptized Christians!
Less than half of all Christians go to Mass even 2 times a year. So, what are the causes of the Mass decline in attendance? The Conference entertains these ideas.
Why The Decline in Mass Attendance?
Despite all the reasons …. The main reason is some Christians do not believe that the Eucharist is really Jesus! Wow! This really shocked the bishops! The bishops stated they must revive what has been lost . . . the main purpose of the Mass!
Jesus is Present Four Ways During Mass
The Conference discusses how Jesus is present four ways during Mass. The movement and actions within the Mass are also discussed. Lastly, Conference #2’s topics are also outlined.

Return to Meditation Media
Because this is a five-week conference, all media will eventually appear on this Conference Audio post. To enable people to hear on other media platforms, each week will also appear under the Meditation for the Week media and on the Podcast.
Note: Some of the questions posed to the working attendees, and sometimes their responses may not always be captured on the audio. In the future, we’ll try to do a better job in capturing the audience discussion / questions.
