The 49th International Eucharistic Congress is only a few weeks away, so preparations are now in high gear. From June 15-22 of this year, Quebec City will welcome Catholics from all points of the globe who will be here to celebrate our faith.
A special edition of World Youth Digest, a magazine created for youth by youth has just recently been published in anticipation of the IEC. Subtitled The Eucharist: God Gives Himself, this edition outlines
- a condensed version of the Congress theological document The Eucharist - in 200 sentences
- the theme song for the Congress entitled God's Gift
- moving testimonies
- gorgeous photographs, and
- ... important texts on the theme of the Eucharist
Pope Benedict XVI has referred to the world's youth as the builders of a civilization of love. Through this Eucharistic Congress, youth can make their voices heard, and continue to deepen within themselves their understanding of the Eucharist as the Gift of God for the life of the world.
