Eucharistic Congress Prayer
O Jesus, Who art really, truly and substantially present in the Blessed Sacrament 
to be the food of our souls, deign to bless and bring to a successful issue
all Eucharistic Congresses and gatherings, and especially the coming 
Congress of the Diocese of Charlotte.

Be Thou the inspiration of our labors, resolutions and vows; accept graciously the 
solemn homage we will render to Thee.  
Send Thy Holy Spirit to kindle the hearts of priests, deacons, religious and all the 
faithful, especially the children, so that devout participation in the Holy Mass
and frequent and daily Holy Communion may be held in honor in all the countries of
the world; and grant that the Kingship of Thy Sacred Heart over human society
may everywhere be acknowledgedto the glory of God the Father.  Amen
