From June, 55 communities in the Archdiocese of Bucharest will take turns in participating in the continuous Eucharistic Adoration in preparation for the 2025 Jubilee. The initiative, proposed by Mgr Aurel Perca, Archbishop of Bucharest, is a response to Pope Francis’ invitation to dedicate the year 2024 to prayer. “This year – the archbishop wrote in a pastoral letter – offers us a special opportunity to prepare for the 2025 Jubilee with more intense, individual and community prayer”. The Archdiocese of Bucharest has also published the programming for the communities – fifty parishes and five communities of various religious congregations – for the next five months. From 3 June, a Eucharistic Adoration will be held every day in a different community, from morning to evening, beginning or ending with a Mass, according to the liturgical schedule. Mgr Perca encouraged the priests of the archdiocese to invite the faithful to organize themselves to participate in the Eucharistic Adoration. “A parish that worships the Blessed Sacrament will bear many fruits of holiness”, the archbishop wrote, hoping that the initiative “will also pave the way for perpetual Eucharistic Adoration, knowing well that adoration guarantees the spiritual rebirth of the whole community”. As a catechetical preparation, Archbishop Perca proposed a letter that John Paul II sent, in 1996, to the Bishop of Liège for the 750th anniversary of the Feast of Corpus Christi.
