Question: What are the most important devotions to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament?
Answer: The most important devotions to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament are Visits to the Blessed Sacrament, Benediction, Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, the Forty Hours’ Devotion, and Eucharistic Congresses. These devotions are expressions of our love, adoration, and thanksgiving to Jesus truly present in the Holy Eucharist.
“O Sacrament most holy, O Sacrament divine, all praise and all thanksgiving be every moment Thine.”
A Eucharistic Congress is a public gathering of clergy, religious, and laity to honor and promote devotion to Jesus present in the Blessed Sacrament. It is a solemn occasion dedicated to deepening faith in the Holy Eucharist through Masses, adoration, processions, sermons, and catechesis.
The first Eucharistic Congress was held in Lille, France, on June 21, 1881, through the inspiration of Marie-Marthe-Baptistine Tamisier, a devoted laywoman who wished to spread love for the Holy Eucharist throughout the world.
Since then, Eucharistic Congresses have been celebrated both locally and internationally, bringing together thousands of faithful to proclaim:
“Jesus, truly present in the Blessed Sacrament, is the source and summit of our faith.”
”I am the living bread which came down from heaven.” — John 6:51
