Not long before he died, Pope John Paul told the young people in Rome, 'There is no authentic celebration or adoration of the Eucharist that does not lead to mission'. In a world where human life itself is under attack, we have a particular and critical mission. The other day a member of the Apostolate of Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration told me – I am offering up my holy hour each week before the Blessed Sacrament so that, even at this late stage, the government may have a change of heart and not introduce legislation for abortion into our country. The organisation 'Precious Life' is calling on all of us to offer forty days of prayer and fasting from the 12 May for the protection of unborn children in this country. I support these initiatives, because if we are in 'communion' with Christ, the Bread of Life, at Mass or during adoration, then we are also 'commissioned' to bring the Good News about Life out there into our community. How can we be in communion with the Bread of Life at Mass or here tonight and not speak the 'Gospel of Life' in our daily lives, especially these days when unborn human life is under such a direct threat in our country?

Adoro Te Devote - Eucharistic Adoration in the Spirit of St Thomas Aquinas
Some of the best loved Eucharistic hymns - Adoro Te Devote, Tantum Ergo, Panis Angelicus - were written by one man, the Dominican friar St Thomas Aquinas. The Dominican friars of St Saviour's Priory (Dublin), which has been in existence for nearly 800 years, will mark the International Eucharistic Congress by inviting renowned preachers to explain the rich delights of these Eucharistic hymns, all in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament, exposed for our veneration. The preachers include Wojciech Giertych OP, the Pope's personal theologian; Paul Murray OP, a celebrated spiritual writer; John Harris OP, well-known for his ministry to young people; and Terence Crotty OP, a Scripture scholar. The evening events will also include music and silent adoration, and will conclude with the Office of Compline, sung by the Dominican community, and the ancient tradition of the Salve Regina procession. Finally, on Saturday, St Saviour's will host a day-long festival of Eucharistic adoration. Come and join us, as we contemplate the source and summit of our faith, 'in which Christ is received, the memory of His Passion is renewed, the soul is filled with grace, and the pledge of future glory is given to us' (St Thomas Aquinas). All events take place in St Saviour's Church, Dominick St., Dublin 1.
