Eucharistic Adoration
What is Eucharistic Adoration
It has been the consistent belief of the Catholic Church from the very beginning that the bread and wine consecrated at Mass truly become the Body and Blood of Christ; and that, furthermore, as the Catholic Catechism states, this "Eucharistic presence of Christ [which] begins at the moment of the consecration...endures as long as the Eucharistic species subsist." (CC #1377). In other words, the Eucharistic Christ then continues to be present in our midst beyond the Eucharistic liturgy when the consecrated host is either reposed in a tabernacle or exposed on the alter.

Catholic Diocese of Arlington Pilgrimage Prayer
Heavenly Father, You have made us in Your own image and likeness, and have sent Your Son to be Our Savior by dying for us on the Cross. As we journey on our Diocesan Pilgrimage, increase our spiritual hunger for the Real Presence of Jesus in the Most Holy Eucharist. Prepare our hearts to receive Him more worthily and with a greater love. Strengthen our desire and commitment to adore Him through weekly Eucharistic Holy Hours with our families. Make us instruments of peace, reconciliation and forgiveness in our families, cities and nation. Send your Holy Spirit upon us to renew all the members of our Diocese of Arlington with a great fervor for the New Evangelization and the salvation of souls.
Thank you for the gift of the Blessed Virgin Mary who leads us ever closer to Your Son. May our families receive graces of wisdom and understanding as we pray the daily Rosary. We make this prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God forever and ever. Amen.

Welcome Message
In the spirit of Father Patrick Peyton, CSC, join us on Saturday, October 8, 2011.
An event brought to you by the Diocese of Arlington and the Eucharistic Family Rosary Crusade.
“The family that prays together stays together.”
— Father Peyton —
In 1938, Father Peyton contracted a severe case of tuberculosis while studying as a seminarian at Holy Cross College in Washington, D.C. After the doctors failed to find a cure for him, he turned to the Blessed Mother and promised to spend his life promoting devotion to her if he were healed. Miraculously, he was cured and began to lead large Rosary Crusades for tens of thousands of people in various cities including New York, San Francisco and New Orleans. In 1985, Father Peyton's Rosary Rally in the Philippines drew more than two million people.
