Beijing (Fides Service) - Since the Tianguang bulletin announced that the Pope had called a special Year of the Eucharist Catholics all over mainland China began to prepare for the event with great enthusiasm. Now that the year has been opened, initiatives to promote deeper awareness of the extraordinary gift God offers in the Eucharist are flourishing everywhere.
Besides reflection and study sessions on the Pope’s Letter for the Year of the Eucharist, priests and scholars work from the English translation issued by the Holy See, local communities meet for prolonged adoration of Jesus present in the Eucharist, and since October is the month of mission and the month of the Rosary, many dioceses are organising hours of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament with the recitation of the Rosary with the intention of mission.
