New issue of The Monitor ∙ Theology on Tap ∙ RoseAnna Romanello obituary

IF ONE IMAGE COULD POSSIBLY HAVE CAPTURED THE AWE-FILLED EXPERIENCE shared at a five-day spiritual gathering on the Eucharist, this month’s cover image comes pretty close. Brought to you courtesy of Amanda Kleinmann, one of the participants from the Diocese of Trenton, the image shows the Blessed Sacrament housed in the monstrance and illuminated in the midst of some 60,000 attendees during evening Adoration at the National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis.
 
 While no stories, collection of photos or streams of videos can ever truly replicate what it was like for the participants of the Congress . . . we are confident that the 11 pages of special coverage in this month’s magazine will lend readers some understanding of this historic event in the life of the Church.
