Woman of the Eucharist
The Diocese of Trenton Guadalupe Torches in a family that prays together stays together, serves as symbols that Our Lady carried the Light of Christ and continues to offer that Light to us today. We are reminded how her intercession can be a powerful tool for unifying families, especially in these three years of the Eucharistic Revival called by the US Bishops.
“As we continue in these years of Eucharistic Revival, let us also grow in Guadalupan reverence, humility, praise, and gratitude. Let us ask Our Lady to teach us to love Jesus as she does. Let us implore Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Americas and Star of the New Evangelization, who has been chosen as the Patroness of the National Eucharistic Revival, to heal us of those things that afflict and hurt us so that we may be united in Jesus. May we kneel in adoration of her Son, that our hearts and minds may be raised to heaven. Through Mary, let us come more deeply to Jesus! Totus Tuus. Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us!” (Fr. Tim Oudenhoven, USCCB)
This all culminates with a closing ceremony on Saturday, December 2nd that brings all the torches back together again and celebrates our steadfastness in our committment to pray for our dead as a diocese. More details on this extraordinary commemorative ceremony to follow. If you have any questions, contact Belem P. Vargas; 609-403-7133 | [email protected]. -
